Murat is a great guy. We stayed at his place for 3 months and really enjoyed our stay. He was always very helpful and understanding and gave us lots of great local tips. He even attended our wedding!
The apartment is in a great location - a short bus ride to Taksim and the port at Karakoy. It's a quiet, residential area with supermarkets nearby. The room is large and clean and the wifi very stable. I really recommend Murats place!
