Emrah is a lovely, responsive, and proactive host. The area is calm, safe and transit accessible. As Emrah indicates in the listing, just keep in mind that the building is on a steep hill and the apartment is on the last floor without an elevator, so this might be an accessibility concern. We had a glitch with the wifi at one point, though Emrah helped address the issue right away. Our favourite thing was how clean, spacious and tidy the apartment is, and it had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay, especially getting to experience local life in Istanbul!
