First of all we would like to thank Volkan for his hospitality, flexibility and kindness. The apartment was at a top location, just in the heart of Istanbul with all the shopping area and bar streets nearby. Close to Taksim Square, Istikal Caddesi and the Galata tower. We almost never used the bus/metro because a lot is within walking distance. It is clean, big enough and you got everything what you need. I would definitely recommend this apartment to others, and would like to stay here someday again.
