My host, Ms Berna Melih Verda, speaks very good English and was easily contactable. She gave very clear, precise and exact descriptions on how to get to the apartment and it was very professional done. Berna does not bother you unless you need something, which is very fine to me. Her apartment is very clean and very equipped! What you see on the site photos are what you get. I will return to the same apartment again should I visit Istanbul as I was very satisfied with my stay at the apartment.
