Irem was friendly, prompt with her responses, and offered great advice. The room is as shown in the profile and photographs; clean, comfortable and offered a nice view of the city. The highlight is hearing the staggered call to prayer echo throughout the city. Location wise, the apartment is not in the tourist epicentre which is great for anyone who wants to unwind and have some peace and quiet after a day of sightseeing and bustle. Yet one is able to walk to sights such as the waterfront, Galata tower, Taksim Square, etc. There is a metro around the corner to the apartment, or one can easily get an uber to move around.
