Nida was a great host, she was always responding my messages and inquiries and really made sure that we have everything we need. Nida was not in Istanbul during our stay so we didn't have a chance to meet, but there was always someone in the hostel who we could ask for help and we met Nida's husband that was really kind and wanted to make sure we enjoy our stay in Istanbul and the appartment. The place was really clean and everything was as expected. It has a great location close to Taksim and Istiklal street. Also, bus station is two minutes away so it is easy to get anywhere in the city from this location. We really enjoyed our stay in this appartment.
