This is a sweet little apartment one floor up on a quiet street in a trendy and fun neighborhood. Close to grocers if you want to eat in the apartment. Many cafes and boutiques nearby, this is clearly an up and coming area for young Turkish design and entrepreneurs, but it is by no means sterile or inauthentic. Also close to tram stop. The apartment has two comfortable double beds and a couch that works well for sleeping. Plenty of hot water, good bathroom, clean, good WiFi. Banu was there to greet us at the time we arrived, and was very responsive and helpful with how to get to her place (we took an Uber from the airport; she sent address and map point). Apartment is simple to get to and to enter. A great base for exploring Istanbul!
