Memet is a great host and will answer any questions you have about your trip to Istanbul when you check in. He is also very quick to answer any questions if you text or call him. The apartment itself is clean and comfy and right on Taksim Square, while also having an amazing view of the water from the bedroom side. It does pick up a bit of noise from Taksim festivities in the evenings but once midnight hits the music is required to be shut off per city ordinance and the bedroom is perfectly quiet all throughout the rest of the night and daytime.
