We (4 adults) recently stayed 4 days in Istanbul and it was the best decision to rent this apartment.

We arrived at 6 am on taksim square, and our host isik was very good organized. He picked us up with his car and drove us to the apartment. Because our apartment was still occupied , we were housed in a free apartment in the same apartment building. Here we could rest and freshen up til we could move.

The location of the apartment was ideal for our shopping tour. within 5 minutes we were on the main shopping street Istiklal caddesi. For all other attractions you had to either walk for half an hour or take the metro or the ferry. For this situation isik gave us an Istanbul Card. One of the best invention in istanbul. You can charge the card and could use it for any ride. One ride costs between 0,72 TL and 2,50 TL - thats about 0,25 to 0,90 €.

The apartment was full of everything you need (washing machine, dishwasher and microwave, 1 air-conditionner/appart, dishes, wifi, hair dryer, TV (also german), Mineral Water, ando so on ...). The accommodation looks exactly like on the pictures on the airbnb homepage.
On every corner around our flat were small shops with many delicacies. We were never hungry :)

Isik was very friendly and helpful - we could call him with every question or problem we had (for example: our private shuttle service was deleted 2 days for our departure, but we noticed it 2 hours before we want to go to the shuttle stop. He explained us the way to another shuttle service and stuck with it all the time on the phone.)
he is definitely one of the kindest host, i've ever met through airbnb.
