I booked Vefa's place for my parents who were visiting Istanbul for a week. Overall, their stay was comfortable. The place is located very centrally with a few minutes walk to tram/metro, Taksim Square and Istiklal street. The nice thing about the street is that its quiet and away from the crowds, but has many convenience stores and small restaurants located nearby so you don't have to go too far if you need anything. The apartment was not as well equipped as it was mentioned in the listing. The hand soap had barely a day's supply. It was refilled when asked but was watered down. Only one roll of toilet paper was supplied for a week's stay. Lights in the dressing room were out and needed bulb replacement. These were just small issues that were encountered, overall the host was very responsive and it was a comfortable stay.
