Charlotte is a very friendly host, she answered all questions quickly. Mrs Gönül waited for us in the apartment to give us the keys. Everything was well prepared. The apartment was clean and with wonderful stylish interior. The pictures where accurate. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and gas, very convenient if one wishes to cook something at the apartment too. The bathroom was clean with hot water available all the time. The washing machine was a nice to have as well for longer stays.
The apartment is in a small street, it is quiet. The nearest metro station is Shishane, it's a walk of 20 minutes, but the bus stop is more closer(5 mins walk). We mostly took a taxi, the taxi drivers had troubles to find the street, so we asked them to bring us to Euro Star Hotel which is better known and close by.
But the apartment is close to Taksim square and a small walk from the bylane to the shopping street(istiklal street)
All in all we had - apart from one week - a good time in Charlotte's apartment.
