The host is an amaizing person. kind and sweet. The apartment is big , clean, close to public transportation, close to shops, grocery stores,bakery, bucher. You can get whatever you want within minutes on foot. many good restaurantsthe are nearby you can try. The place was very well furnished as it was better than the photos. for the price also was very decent. The balcony was a plus also. the host helped me to get to the new Istanbul airport and PCR test for my trip. I recommend you contact the host a day before to arrange the move in a day ahead. Definitely we were happy in this apartment.
