Shahrzad is very co-operative and helpful. She went out of the way to make us feel comfortable, let us extend our check out time due to late flight. Her guidance was very useful for our taxi booking and for our on sight tours. I will definitely recommend her apartment to anyone coming for a leisure tour to Istanbul. The only issue we had was that the apartment is not located at Takshim square as we had presumed. You will need to take a taxi to Takshim every time you travel out as that is where all the major attractions are. I would recommend any place near Galata Towers for short trips as all the major tour attractions are accessible from this point.
