Me and my friend stayed at Dilek’s place for one week. First of all, Dilek was very helpful with our trip. She answered immediately to our questions and did her best to help us. Second, there are no problems with heating and hot water. These can be regulated, which is good. Third, neighborhood is safe. Right near the apartment, there is parking place, so there’s security 24/7. Fourth, perfect location, about 5-7 min from Istiklal, Taksim, museum Istanbul modern, and metro, tramway stops(you can easily get to touristic places). There’s also a small market nearby. Another things to note is that we had minor problems with wifi connection, but it is fixable. And a bit dampness is felt; and in the nights it’s a bit loud, as it’s close to night life.
Overall, we were glad to stay at Dilek’s place. This apartment is good for 1 or 2 people.
