Dilek's place was very clean, cozy and comfortable. I particularly liked the living room with it nice couch and sunny windows. It's also in a really good location - a short walk to Istiklal Street and Taksim Square but also not far to Karaköy ferry and trams (plus Karaköy's hipster cafe scene. The street that the apartment is in, also has many cool shops, cafes and a couple of bars. The bedroom is at the back so it is mostly pretty quiet although on the Saturday night there was some music from a bar behind the flat. But you can't really avoid at least some noise in this neighbourhood and Dilek's place is quieter than most.
Dilek was also very nice - quick to respond and met me at the flat outside the normal checkin hours. I hope to stay again.
