Shahrzad was a wonderful host from the time I arrived till the time I left. When I arrived in the apartment, the place was spotless and beautifully decorated. Shahrzad made sure that all of my needs were met from towels, laundry, tips on how to get around, and places to eat in the area. The area consists of many food places and access to public transportation. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone that is looking to stay in Istanbul.
