The apartment is bright and spacious and really makes you feel like you're home away from home. Afşin was always helpful, getting back to us quickly and checking on us to see if everything was okay. The apartment itself is located in a quiet street but just 5-10 minutes walk away there are loads of cafes, bars and restaurants - it's a really cool neighbourhood! It's up on the hill though, so if you don't like walking uphills to get home, that's something to consider. Overall I'd recommend choosing this place for your stay in Istanbul, especially if you'd prefer living in a more local area, further from the crowds of tourists.
