It was the first time I took a room in a shared apartment and I haven’t regretted it. The room was very clean, spacious, and has perfect sound isolation so other people do not disturb at all. The apartment is located in the best area of Istanbul, with lots of restaurants and bars and a marina to take a boat tour around the city or to go to the Asian part. Uğur is a great host, always replies quickly and offers help. I would definitely stay there again.
