The location is perfect! The apartment is very close to major public transit stations, within walking distance of some major attractions (Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, and more), and in a neat area to just wander and explore. The apartment itself was very nice and clean, and included more than I expected. Mehmet was an excellent host; it was very easy to coordinate checking in and out, he made sure things were going well, and he filled the apartment with little touches to make my stay comfortable.
