Even before our trip, Muge was very helpful with preparations and instructions. The apartment was friendly and clean, Muge put up an extra bed for a third person and helped us with calling a taxi (in Turkish). There are helpful tips in the apartment regarding shopping etc. and we had a wonderful time staying there. The area was not always quiet at night, but the apartment is centrally located near the German embassy (Taksim Square). It was very easy to feel at home at Muge's place and we enjoyed our stay!
