Although I didn't get to meet Safak, We spoke over the phone several times, and she was very helpful with our organisation for our trip. We had a few problems whilst in Istanbul and Safak was great in helping us sort them out.

The flat is in very close to Taksim square, but is not on the main road and is actually located in a very peaceful and quiet area. This means you can enjoy the nightlife when you want, but can get your rest quite easily too. The beds are very comfortable!

There are many local shops with very friendly people all around. The flat itself is reasonably clean and comfortable and has plenty of space for large groups. 8 of us visited and we had a wonderful time. Thank you Safak.
