We stayed over two months here and really felt at home. Begum was super responsive and helpful, answering questions before our arrival, getting us set up when we arrived, and giving local recommendations for places to go and things to do. The apartment is really central, in a historic neighborhood with lots of character and tons of coffeeshops, restaurants, public transit, and tourist attractions easily accessible. The apartment is on the top floor of a 4-story building, no elevator so the stairs provide a good little workout. There is a comfortable lounge with TV and big windows, well-equipped kitchen with everything you need, large walk-in closet with tons of storage and washing machine, and bedroom with desk space for working. There is a small balcony off the bedroom from which you can see the Hagia Sophia and hear the gulls. Fast, reliable wifi from two routers in the lounge and bedroom. We really appreciated the comfortable space, cool/walkable area, and Begum is a great host!
