We stayed for one week November 5-13. The apartment is tidy and spacious, it was very clean there. Perfect for families with kids (we were with 2), we had everything we need ( washing machine, dish washer, hair dryer, heating system, etc) The location is very quiet and far from noisy places, there is plenty of different shops and cafe nearby in walking distance including local market in 50m from the building, all major transport lines are within 20 minutes walking from home (you can reach them by bus if you want right from the building): metro line, marmaray, ship to Princess Islands. Şehrazd is a great host and provided all we needed and promptly replied to all our requests. She kindly helped us to get to the ferry to the islands for the first time, along the way she helped to get an Istanbul transport card and showed where better to buy grocery, where to exchange money, where to go to reach X, etc. Şehrazd helped us out even with some special requests, for example she organised delivery of goat products for our kids with allergy right to the door step. Next time in Istanbul we will definitely stay at Şehrazd’s place
