Besides being a super host, Bulut’s apartment was super clean, well equipped for cooking, clean bedding with comfortable mattress and pillows, and in generally, very homey. If you don’t mind walking and climbing a lot (like myself), you will be within 15 minutes walk to Taksim Square and Isteghlal street and 20 minutes to Cevahir mall. And, if you really want to challenge those legs, it will take you 30 minutes to walk to Galata and from there another 20 to Karakoy. Otherwise, the Osman Bay metro station and plenty of taxies are within walking distance form the apartment.
I highly recommend his place.
