We stayed at this nice apartment for 6 days. It is a cute place that is equiped with everything you need. The building has been recently renovated. Everything is brand new there and super clean.
The neighborhood is a little old but many buildings are getting renovated there. The location is great. It is close to taqsim and the old city as well. Metro stations are at a walking distance. There are many grocery stores, small restaurants and bakeries close by.
Nida is a a wonderful host. She was very helpful in pointing out all the beautiful things around Istanbul. She met us the first day upon arrival and gave us a map and showed us all the important areas to visit. She gave us many good tips of where to go and when are the best times and how to get around. She was always available for any questions (even before I booked her place). She called a taxi for us to get to the airport. She has super nice friendly staff. We would definitely stay there again.
