The location is perfect; it's a five minute walk from Istiklal Caddesi, and another 15 minutes to Taksim Square and Galata Tower. There are two grocery stores, and a bakery within a block from the apartment. Additionally, there is a HUGE farmers market and flea market in the neighborhood every Sunday that is AMAZING!
The building is in a safe neighborhood, and is unusually quiet given its location. The apartment is immaculate, and looks even better than the photos! The shower is HUGE for this region, and the water temperature and pressure is perfect. The bed is extremely comfortable, and Abdullah provides fresh new sheets every week, and washes your dirty ones. Additionally, he has your apartment professionally cleaned every week.
Abdullah is an extremely friendly, and attentive host, and is available 24/7 if there's any type of issue. He's fluent in English which was extremely helpful! Highly recommended!
