I was very happy to stay at Cenk's apartment for two months. The location was convenient, with bus service to and from the airport directly to Taksim Square. Both the tram and the metro have nearby stops, which take you wherever you want to go in Istanbul. You could also walk down to the Galata bridge in about half an hour, and from there across into historic Istanbul, but beware the steep climb up the hill on the way back! Despite the proximity to the busy-ness of Taksim square, the apartment is on a quiet residential street: you are close to shopping and nearby sites, without sacrificing the quiet and repose of a residential neighborhood. The apartment comes as advertised, with reliable wifi, hot water, etc. It is not luxurious, but it is a comfortable and convenient place to stay. If I ever have the good fortune to return to Istanbul, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
