This apartment matches the description well. It was very clean and Faruk was always responsive, literally within minutes of me sending a message he would reply right away.
The location is great and accessible to Taksim and you can enjoy the vibrant life of Karakoy and even walk over the Galata bridge to Eminönü and the old city area.
There are cafes open till very late right next to the apartment too
I missed a long mirror in the apartment but the mirrored loft made up for it. No complaints really
