Volkan is a nice guy, but I need to be honest. The bathroom was a shower with a toilet and sink in the middle. After taking a shower water on the floor barely drained, leaving the floor wet when using the bathroom. The floors were dirty. The furniture is new and kitchen is clean. It was 90 degrees Farenheit (32 degrees Celsius), and there was NO air conditioning, only a plug-in fan. The location is convenient, very close to a bus stop and Taksim but the area is a little shoddy. Our view was graffiti on an unoccupied building, busted windows and all around the neighborhood was unkept. If I had not budgeted my Eurotrip already, I would have left this place in a heartbeat. By the way, don't bring heavy luggage because the apartment is up four flights of very narrow stairs.
