It was easy to coordinate and communicate with Isik. He was friendly, flexible and responsive.He met us at the havatas busstop and gave us a mini-tour on the way to the place. The place is well located to Taksim square and public transportation and taxis. It was a quiet, clean apartment and he provided drinking water and a transportation card that we could load with money. It's at the top of long set of stairs so be prepared. It's a lively mixed neighborhood. We worried about making noise because the floor is squeaky. If you want to explore the city and just need a space to rest-- this is a good economical choice.
