Gunes's apartment was fantastic. It was spacious, cozy, and had all the amenities you could ask for. The patio was super cute, the kitchen was full furbished, and the bedrooms were comfy. Gunes was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond, and very friendly. The location, while far away from some of the main sites of the city, is in a fantastic, vibrant area, with lots of great restaurants in walking distance, convenances stores around the corner, and not to hectic of an area, so you'll get peace and quiet. If you want to stay in Istanbul, and want a cozy, lovely place to stay, this is the spot.
