The apartment is located in a very quiet street while close to all the attractions and shopping of the Taksim Square and Istiklal street areas (just a short 15 walk). It’s located in a hilly area so it felt like a cardio exercise to walk around but my family and I loved that! The apartment itself is just as described in the listing, it’s very comfortable to live in, we didn’t have any issues. The building looks recently renovated, it has an elevator which is convenient if you have heavy luggage.
The host is very responsive and courteous. It was a pleasure to communicate with him. An example of great customer service: Ozgur helped us with arranging transfer to the airport and while the transfer is provided by the third company, Ozgur was actually up at 5 o’clock in the morning to ensure that our van arrived on time. He didn’t have to do that but I really appreciated that he did. Just shows that he cares. Thank you for that , Ozgur :)
