Banu was a fantastic and warm-hearted host. The apartment was very clean and thoughtfully furnished, we loved the bathroom and the kitchen, so overall we felt right at home. :) The T1 tramway was 5-6 minutes walking distance away, which was very convenient.
Furthermore Banu took her time to show us the area and gave us important tips for our sightseeing tours! I would always consider renting Banus apartment again for future Istanbul trips!
Best regards, Deniz
