Irem was a fantastic host who guided us on every step. The apartment was on the second floor so you might have a bit of a climb to make with heavy luggages in a somewhat narrow stairway. But as you enter the apartment you will find that it’s fairly spacious considering where you get to stay - the place is close to Istiklal street, which then leads to Taksim area. The historical town with all the famous mosques is on the other side of the Bosporous bridge. The apartment was well stocked (you might find even sewing kits!). Overall we had an excellent stay thanks to the super host, Irem. Definitely recommended.
