Alexis was a very good host and we had excellent communication! He was not in Turkey so his mother opened the apartment for us. Everything is very clean and taken care of to the last detail. The house was lovely and at the best location just 10 min walking to Taksim square, only 4 minuites from Havatas airport bus shuttle and Taksim Metro station. The only problem we faced was that we had a water shortage for a fortnight, which was fixed on the next day. Other than that we enjoyed very much our stay in the apartment , it is comfortable for 5 persons, however one bathroom can be a fuss if you are so many... Definetely recommend it :)
