The flat was great and the location was as descriped, very close to Taksim, located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Cigdem was nice and very communicative, and made my stay very easygoing and comfortable. She was not there to hand me the key, but had two of her friends waiting for us in the flat, who showed us around.

After a small issue with her washing machine, Cigdem was very open and even offered a refund of part of our bill, to make up for it.

All in all a great and very nice stay in Taksim, Istanbul. The wasching machine works again :)
