This is my first time in Istanbul and being at Alper's apartment was the best thing to do. Located at the heart of Şişli 5 min away from metro and from Cevahir mall. You have literally everything within walking distance from grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and cafes. When you arrive you will probably meet Idrees, what a great guy! He was very welcoming and polite. He helped me with a small problem i had when i first got there and made sure we are comfortable the whole time. Definitely recommend!
