Staying at Halil’s place has been a great experience.
The apartment is located right in the center of the city, very close to Taksim square and next to the main shopping area with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, clubs, etc. Still, on a side street so you do not hear any of the noise for sleeping.
The flat is on the 5th floor (no lift) of the building and it has everything you might need for a few-days stay.
We will stay again!
