I was in Istanbul for one week and stayed at Fatih's apartment for a couple of days in Taksim. The apartment is as pictured in the photos. It's small but very cosy and is well-equipped. You have everything you need. It's perfect for a short stay in the city. It's very near the beautiful Galata Tower. You can walk all the way to Istanbul if you like walking or even take the tram. There's a mini market just around the corner which is always open. Fatih's is the best host you can find in all Istanbul. He's very helpful and would respond at all times. He speaks perfect Enlgish. Communication was smooth and effective. He came to pick me up at the bus station when I first arrived. I had a great time in Istanbul. I would definitely recommend staying at any of Fatih's apartments. Thank you Fatih! :)
