Mayer’s place was exactly as described and looked like the photos. The place is cozy and homey. There’s double heating in every room of the apartment which is amazing in March weather! The building is a 3-minute walk from Istiklal Caddesi and equally distanced from both Taksim and Şişhane metro stations which is a plus plus. The apartment is spotless and has everything you would need for a short stay (washing machine, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, cups, plates, cutlery and a blow dryer. The apartment is on the ground floor which is great if you have a lot of luggage like we did 🤗. The team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We felt right at home. Highly recommended apartment and host.
