This is a gem of an apartment, do not be put off when you arrive as the neighborhood is very old, however the character is what makes it special. From the local shop keepers to the cats on the street, there is a special feel about the place and we were made to feel very welcome. Just a short walk to Ishtikal Street, and Taksmim Square, however far enough away to be quiet (generally) at night. Apartment is a great size with every amenity available and Mersin was in touch every second day to make sure all was well, although remote he is a great host, and the organisation for the hand over was perfect.
