Betal was a very communicative host and I really appreciate his clear directions. The apartment was very spacious, comfortable (especially the couch!), and clean. There are some delicious cafes very close to the apartment. While the space is fairly centrally located, it is on a sizable hill (but so is most of Istanbul) so keep that in mind if you have any mobility concerns or want to go back and forth from the apartment numerous times throughout the day. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay!
