The apartment truly matched our expectations and was as described and seen on the pictures. You could tell that the host put some work into it to make it a nice place to stay. The location was perfect for us, since we wanted to be around Taksim, Istiklal, Galata etc., but it was easy to travel by tram or taxi to any other place either.
We stayed for eight nights and felt like this was our own home after the shortest time. I would definitely recommend it and would even go back there myself :)
