I stayed at this appartment for 1 month. It is located in a very beautiful and nostalgic place in Istanbul which in near to Istiklal street and Taksim square. The place is surrounded by bars and restaurants which give it a very warm, live and friendly atmosphere. Two metro stations are each 5 minutes walk from you ,the river is two stations and Cavahir shopping center is one metro station away. Overall you can have easy access to most prominent shopping and entertainment centers and also historical places with pubic transportation. The place itself is really clean and comfortable, it has a washing machine which is quite handy, a gas for cooking and all the necessary cooking stuff. The place is also 10 minutes away from Carrefour shop from which you can get every thing you need. There are also a lot of small shops and bakeries around from which you can buy necessary things, water, Ekmek (bread) and Simit (This is also a kind of traditional bread).
Ergun himself is an angel. He came to the bus station to pick me up at my arrival and helped me to carry my heavy suitcase, he invited me to lunch once, he was always available and I was quite delighted by his hospitality. Actually he was more like a friend rather than a person who rents apartments.
The place was very clean once I got there and it also had a vacuum cleaner which was very good. It also has a lot of drawers and cabinets which lets you to organize your stuff very easily.
The only things that may bother you is that place has many stairs and also gets noisy at nights because of its place, but I didn’t mind the stairs and got used to the noise very soon and even sometimes enjoyed the music at nights, but I guess it will be a problem to people who find it hard to climb the stairs or people who are sensitive to noise.
I really enjoyed my stay there and I strongly recommend it.
