The apartment was nice, cosy and well located in a quiet area. Murat is a great host. He was very responsive, friendly and helpful. We had a small issue in the bathroom and he came the next day with the plumber to fix it, which was great.
There are a few things people should be aware of, the apartment is in the basement of a building which we didn't understand from the listing information. It was fine because the street it overlooks is very quiet and more like a parking than a street.
The other this is that the way to Taksim square is a steep uphill walk. For people with health or physical problems, it is not an easy walk.
The apartment had the essentials for a short stay, but unfortunately the oven was not working, it was missing a knob and it would have been nice to have more cups to use. But as we were there for a short time, we think it had sufficient things for a quick breakfast.
Overall, it was a good value for money and a great host.
