Ismail is a very nice and responsive host, we were even able to check in earlier.
The apartment is located in Kagithane, near the Trump Tower. Its located very strategic, near to Sisli, Fatih, Beyoglu, Besiktas en Uskudar. Uskudar is a very nice to be, you can go by a ferry or car.
The apartment is new and very clean, it has 2 bedrooms and 2 sofa beds in the livingroom with many windows. There is floor heating and its not controlled by the apartment. So during winter you wont be cold at all!
We were with five people and we needed a lot of space. The apartment was provided with many closets and a washing machine and a dryer. We even had a dishwasher for our convenient.
The Bathroom is just good, not to big not to small, enough for average size people. The bin is collected every day a 11 am and 17 pm, so you don't need to go downstairs to throw the bin yourself. How convenient is that?!
Again the area where the apartment is very strategic. The metro is walking distance, you have a big hospital around the corner, for any PCR tests. However at this area Istanbul, you can rent a car, because there is more space to put the car. But we did not choose the rent a car, because the heavy traffic. So we really do recommend this place, this apartment and our host Ismail. Not to forget the staff at the entrance, who are 24/7 downstairs and protecting our safety!
