We really enjoyed staying at Sahins apartment - it has a really homely & cozy vibe & everything we needed was available - all those things listed plus extras like an umbrella, coffee, books & magazines to read. The sofa & bed were really comfortable and we slept very well, the apartment and bedding/towels were clean, and I liked the fact it has a kitchen and dining area, and happy that the tv has Netflix so we could watch our series. Sahin is super friendly and quick to respond, and although we didn’t have any problems whilst we were there I felt confident he would have helped if we had needed. The apartment building is old & the bathroom is very small as others have mentioned (nice hot water though), and it is bigger than the photos suggest. The location is good, about 5-10 mins walk to istiklal street, and there’s a 24 hour grocery store downstairs. This stay was one of my favourite stays in Istanbul & I’d recommend it to others :)
