Mel's place is the perfect apartment. Very clean and safe. It is in a good location just a few minutes walk from Istiklal street and Taksim Square. All the appliance work perfectly, hot water, full a/c. Very nice place, definitely will stay there in the future. Mel is so lovely and our communication was very good despite the language barrier. She helped us with our taxi and getting our test. She was an awesome host. I recommend her place a 100%.
