Atif and his family are very helpful, friendly, and quick responsing. The apartment is way better than it looks in the photos. Thought it's in the 4th floor but the stairs are good and easy to ascent. Also the apartment is sparkling clean and very comfortable, it contains all the specifics you need in your daily life. About the transportation, it might be a bit far from the centre of Istanbul but the neighbourhood is quite and peaceful and you can find all you need in it, like markets, bakery and shops. Also there is a bazaar on Friday and it's near the place. I recommend it!
