Servet was a very gratious host. he picked us up near taksim and brought us to the apartment. he checked in on us a few times after to see if we were okay. the apartment is a lovely studio with a big terras and is located in a realy cool neighborhood with nice restaurants, coffee shops,... and across the street from the apartment was a shop selling home made profiteroles and eclaires! the apartment is located near public transport so you'll reach all parts of Istanbul quite easily. I would recommend this place to everybody!
