Tugce is such a great host, she is very helpful and you can rely on her in anything.
The apartment is exactly as mentioned in the pictures. It is very clean and warm. The view is stunning from the balcony. The location is amazing, just few steps from Taksim square where you have access to public transportation, food and gift shops.
Three points to mention here regarding the apartment:
1- You have to climb 5 floors and it was very difficult specially with sleeping kids on your hands.
2- It lies on a steep inclined ramp ( as most of Istanbul apartments )
3- Checkout is little bit earlier than usual 10:00 am but still Tugce was flexible and extended my stay till 10:40 am.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay there and I will choose it again on my next visit to istanbul
