Yasar met us immediately outside the building as our taxi dropped us off. He helped carry our luggage up the narrow stairs. He showed us around and everything was he listed online. He lives right upstairs so if he ever needed him, he would never be too far. However, everything was pretty perfect as we did not require any additional help. The location was perfect, in less than two minutes you are into Taksim Square which is filled with shops, food, and other activities. My family and I had some excellent food right nearby the apartment. We never had to travel too far. We booked tickets for Big bus tour for Istanbul, and that stop was located just 5 to 7 minutes from the apartment. The apartment is quite and you can barely near anything from outside. I would recommend.
