We had a splendid stay, the apartment matched the description outlined in the advert, great value for the price. Aziz greeted us at the door and explained everything clearly, he had transport cards ready for us and talked us through getting around the city which was very helpful. The apartment itself was very clean with all the basic amenities at our disposal. We loved the fact that it was very centrally located which meant we were only a few minutes walking distance from all the major attractions. Much to our surprize we didn't need to hire a taxi even once during our five days stay. There were loads of restaurants in the neighbourhood which again was a major advantage. We will certainly be going back to the Painters guest house when we visit Istanbul next.
