This is an amazing place, and Gizem is an extraordinary host. I recommend it 100%, I was very happy with everything. The place is exactly as showed (and I'd say that even better!). The apartment is beautiful, super clean, and location is just great, a few blocks from Taksim square, metro, bus, parks, stores, shopping malls...etc. Everything is really close or at hand. Also you have all the apartment services at your disposition, which was great. Gizem received me very early in the morning for check-in, and I really appreciated that. Communication with her was always fast when necessary. In the end, I had a terrific time in Istanbul, and in a big measure it was because of Gizem's wonderful place and cordiality.
