We were two Erasmus students living here for 9 months. The apartment is wonderful and one feels at home immediately. Mersin and his mother were always available if we had any questions or needed help. The location is beyond perfect, one reaches Istiklal in 2 minutes and Taksim or Galata in 7 minutes. Our highlight was the weekly fruit and vegetable market, which is literally in front of the door! We would definitely recommend this apartment to everyone, whether for long-term stay, business or tourism!
