We enjoyed our month long stay & Elshan was the perfect host. Very. responsive. He met us at the apartment and showed us around. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, even had oil & spices. There are extra sheets & towels, etc. The apartment was as pictured. Elshan explained that he could order large water bottles for delivery, which we took advantage of, just sent him a note & water would be delivered (we paid him in advance, very reasonable). He also provided a list of nearby restaurants to try. You can see the Bosphorous from the window. It is a nice & quiet neighborhood. Just be aware that there are steep hills up and down. That said, you can easily call a taxi & Elshan even reserved one for my early morning airport ride. Elshan is a wonderful host & the apartment is nice & cosy.
