Volkans apartment is everything you need for a stay in Istanbul. It is the most central location I have stayed, in a safe neighborhood - near touristy places, but also a tram that can take you elsewhere. The apartment is newly renovated and has all the appliances. The rooms are small and there is only A/C in two of them. But Volkan made it worth a 5-star recommendation. My sister forgot something in the flat and Volkan arranged for it to be brought to me in Istanbul. This you cannot expect from landlords. I will use the Blue Suites by V next time I bring family to Istanbul.
