Ergun was a wonderful host very helpful and kind. He helped us load and unload our luggage and carried it to the fifth floor. He was excellent with his communication and we had no problems. The apartment has all utensils,stove ,washer and basic amenities. The place was exactly as pictured except in the picture it appears a little bigger than it actually is. Location is perfect close to everything buses,market place,bars etc. Its literally 5 min walk from taksim square. It gets a little harder to take luggage up and down the stairs because its on fifth floor and has no lift but otherwise its perfect for its price . We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a perfect spot in istanbul for a long or short period.
