We stayed at Tarik’s apartment in 16 days, and enjoyed each single day! It’s a homy cozy apartment in a central strategic location. In addition, Tarik is superb host who respond quickly and always have suggestions and tips on many things. The apartment is clean & well maintained with all basic items you need for cooking. Tarik provided shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, coffee, tea, spices, pasta... and even jacket and bathrobe! Location is very strategic. Migros is just next door, where we stop by every day to buy water and fresh fruits. Cozy cafes with nice cofees, teas and cakes are just around the corners of the block. Nice restaurants are just 5 mnts walks. The popular Taksim square and Metro station are only 10 mnts walk, making it easier to explore the city. I will highly recommend Tarik’s apartment without a bit doubt. I would like to stay again at his apartment next time we are in Istanbul. Thanks so much Tarik to make our stay in Istanbul so easy and comfortble!
