Everything was perfect and as described! Even though the apartment is close to Shisane metro station (one stop to Taksim square), we frequently chose to walk around by foot as the area is quite close to other central spots, such as Galata tower, Istiklal, Karakoy, Sultanhamet and Eminonu. The apartment was cozy and clean and had everything we needed (kitchen also very well equiped). Daoud was a great host and provided us a detailed online map with his own suggestions and places to visit (restaurants, grocery stores, useful local services, museums etc). Overall a great value for money and we would definitely stay at Daoud's place again. Highly recommended!
