Emre was a fantastic host!! He really went above and beyond as far as accommodating my last minute itinerary changes and even helping me locate a package at the post office! The location is great as it offers easy access to various parts of the city, e.g. Karakoy, Cihangir, Istiklal St., etc. It's true that it isn't a quiet spot but the apartment is beautiful and the abundance of windows makes for a beautiful view. Would definitely recommend staying here.
