Goncagül's flat is a wonderful place to stay. Light filled and airy. I was there in August and a wondeful breeze flew through the place keeping it cool. It's very comfortable, with a good kitchen where I cooked most evenings. Bathroom is good and bedroom is also cool and confortable. The little balcony is a wonder. A beautiful place to sit in the evenings drinking beer or eating dinner. The muezzin here, (the mosque is only a hundred metres away) is one of the wonders of Istanbul. I have never heard such poetic and expressive calls to prayer before. I am not muslim but I loved to listen to him, five, or is it six times a day. The neighbourhood is a constant buzz with great cafes and resturants and supermarkets. Taksim Square is 2 minutes away as is Istiklal Cd. The airport shuttle is just round the corner. Goncagül is very nice and always helpful. Certainly one of my best AirBnB expereinces.
