The location was perfect, 3 minutes walk to Istiklal street, 5 minutes to the metro station, and 10 minutes to Karakoy where you can take a tram. The apartment had everything I needed, and most importantly it was warm during the cold weather, and had hot water all the time. Ümit was very responsive and helpful, he was flexible, made it possible for me to make a late check out. I totally recommend this apartment
