Gizem was the host that assisted me and my friend with our stay. She was very responsive to our questions and messages. Very courteous. She also helped arrange taxi transfer to the airport and was up at 3am to ensure it arrived. The apartment was very nice and more than enough space for 2 people. The location is more residential, away from all the busiest streets, but not so far that it felt removed from all the action. The first few nights we were in Istanbul, we stayed next to the Galata Tower and the outside noise was constant. It was nice to stay somewhere much quieter. The only thing that we found lacking was the bed and pillows. The bed was super hard, very uncomfortable, and the pillows felt like plastic. We ended up pulling out the sofa bed in the living room and laying down sheets and the duvet out there to get some sleep. We would stay here again, but hopefully next time there is a better mattress and pillows. Thank you for an overall great stay!
