We had a great time at Dilek‘s place. It was very nice, clean, and very well equipped. The size and the number of beds were Ok for five adults and a 3-year-old kid. It is in a pretty good location. The bus station, tram station, metro station and ferry terminal are accessible within less than 10 minutes. Besides, it is close to Taksim square and touristy sights in Fatih district. After a few minutes walking down the street you can enjoy a fantastic view of Bosphorus. The neighborhood was safe and mostly very quiet. In addition, there are grocery stores near the apartment. Only the slope of the street was a bit inconvenient. But it is how Istanbul is.
Dilek is a great host. She is very kind, hospitable and considerate. She answers messages very soon and takes care of everything. I am completely satisfied with the apartment, recommend it to everyone and will book it again.
