We had a great stay in Istanbul. Cesur, Kamuran's son hosted us and was very attentive and easy to communicate with. He insured all the significant details were taken care of and was flexible enough to wait for our arrival. During our stay he checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and offered to give us fresh towels. I thought this was great and very hospitable. The location was fantastic very central in the Taksim area and easy to get to all the "hotspots" along Istiklal Street. It was also very easy to catch the tram at the bottoms of hill to Sultanhamet. I felt safe and very local. As for the apartment it is exactly as advertised and perfect for 2 people. It was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this location. The hosts are great people and you cannot beat the location. You'll get the best of Istanbul here.
