I've stayed in Murat's place with my husband for 3 nights and we had a wonderful stay. It was very clean and we've especially appreciated the small snacks and drinks Murat left for us. The flat is very close to Taksim, but you'll have to climb a steep hill to get there (this was not a problem for us). Communication with Murat was great and we will definitely come back to the flat if we're back in Istanbul. Thank you, Murat!
