Murat welcome us in a very friendly manner and introduced me and my friend to his flat. He's living very close so could come at once to meet us. On his own words he was born and raised in Istanbul and can be of great help to discover the place.

The apartment is very cosy and pleasant. It's very personalised and you feel home very quickly. The amenities are simple but very functional, you can cook yourself nice Turkish coffee (sorry for the cliché !), internet works very well, the shower is great, etc. It's well lit too and quiet despite being on ground floor.

On the top of that, location is amazing : you're less than 5 min walking from the sea side, where you can sit at a café and contemplate Asia having sudjuk and tea... You're less than 10 min from Taksim too and can access tramway and subway fairly easily. A great place I'll recommend to any one.
