Arabic and German versions are below :Since it was one of my best trips I will make it an extensive review!
1-Garen as a host:
Garen was a very nice person from the day of booking the apartment to the end of our stay. He gave nice hits and suggestions to enjoy our stay in Istanbul by providing helpful websites. During our stay, the communication with him was really perfect in terms of language and being kind to us. In addition to that, he offered us to help in booking our transportation from the airport to the aprtment.
2- The apartment:
The apartment was nice and clean. It was sufficient to accommodate us (9 people) without any problem. The location was not far away from Taksim area (Istiklal street) where people can find a lot of shops, restaurants, cafe's, clubs and pubs. The apartment is around 2-4 min from the bus station (Ömer Hayyam) which can take you to many places in Istanbul and 15 min walking from Taksim metro station.
3-The area:
The area was hilly ( which is also the topology of a lot of places in Istanbul) which makes the movement with a baby trolly a bit difficult(as in our case). Next to the apartment, there is a market which opens on Sundays. You can get nice fruits vegetables and much more for cheap prices. However, the people leave the place with a lot of garbage and wastes ( it won't be cleaned before the next day by the city).
The buildings and streets in this area are pretty old. You can hear the sound of neighbors till late ( even after 10 pm).
The building where Garen has his apartment does not have an elevator, which can be difficult for old people or little children in the trolly. As well as the lights in the building ( along with the stairs ) were not working properly. الشقه ممتازة ونظيفه كافيه لمجموعه كبيره تصل إلى تسعه أشخاص يوجد فيها كل ما يلزم. غارن صاحب الشقه لطيف ومتساعد جدا ولم نواجه ايا مشكله بالتواصل معه باللغه الانجليزيه . موقع الشقه استراتيجي ولكن سلبيتها الوحيده انها بمنطقه شعبيه جدا .قريبه جدا من السوق(سوق تقسيم ،سيرا خمس دقائق) والمواصلات العامه(من اثنين لأربع دقائق) ، أنصح بالاقامه بسبب قربها من الاماكن السياحيه . die Wohnung liegt in Top Lage und entfernt nur 2-4 min zur Bus Station . Sie geeignet für große Gruppe . In der Wohnung befindet sich alles ,was jemand braucht. Die Wohnung is sehr empfehlenswert.
