Sadık's place super exceeded our expectations! The photos and description totally match the apartment, and the location is also perfect. We loved that we were extremely close to Taksim square but not in the middle of the chaos! Finding parking on the street was also incredibly easy, and we felt very safe leaving our car parked in front of the apartment during our stay (while exploring the city by foot).
Serafima, Sadık's partner, welcomed us and also provided so much information about what to do in Istanbul. Great communication and very attentive host!
We will totally be back when visiting Istanbul again in the future!
