Garen was very helpful with everything and the flat was just as described. It's situated in a calm street, opposite to a school. The surrounding area is very busy and interesting, with a lot to offer, but this was a great calm oasis to come back to every night and get good sleep. The flat was clean and nice, and albeit a bit rudimentary the kitchen was so good we could cook some nice meals during our 9 day trip. Perfect for 2-3 friends or a couple. Garen was great to deal with and provided us with plenty of suggestions on things to do and see around the city, as well as being a really nice guy who told us interesting things. We we're lucky enough to be able to stay for three extra nights and had a wonderful time in Istanbul. Having such nice accommodation sure helped and made things a lot easier. Thank you!
