Our stay at Taylan's place was lovely. Reasonably quiet street, but still walking distance from major transit hubs, and very nice café's and restaurants around the corner.
The apartment itself is beautiful. Spacious, with character, and has all the amenities that one would need.
The communication with Taylan was great. Friendly, clear and responsive. And when we had specific questions about things to do in Istanbul he had great suggestions.
Overall a really good experience.
