We enjoyed our almost 2-week stay in this spacious apartment. Garen was very helpful and responsive from the very first day. He showed me around the neighborhood and gave excellent suggestions for places to visit in Istanbul. The apartment looks exactly as shown in the pictures. Everything was renovated and in working order. The neighborhood looked safe to us, although not well-taken care of. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful. The Sunday market right outside our doors was a pleasant surprise :)!
