Couldn't have asked for a better host. Bengi was always accessible, kind, and incredibly helpful. I was looking for a place to study and visit my research areas in Taksim and Sisli. I spent a month in the room and everything went well, thanks to Bengi.
The location of the apartment is close to Taksim (10 min by bus) and metrobus (10-12 min by walking). You can also use ferries to go to Uskudar or Eminonu.
