We stayed in Izel's apartment on 2nd floor in Istanbul from May 23 to May 26. Izel was very welcoming and extremely helpful. He was there to receive us at the apartment, helped us acquaint with the area and provided us with the Istanbulkart for public transport which was very useful to get around the city. We have stayed in Apartments through Airbnb for few times now and this is the first time we would have met the host and who was this helpful. House is exactly as per the description and photos and it has everything one would need. Washing machine was missing but Izel helped us with the laundry service.

Also the location is fantastic. The tram is 5-7 Minute walk from the house and is connected to most tourist places. Moreover we felt that the shops near the house/galata tower were better than grand bazaar! Reasonably priced and no rush and same variety!

Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend Izel house if one is in Istanbul!
