Before our arrival, Alex provided us with a map and some guidance on how to find his apartment which was very helpful. When we arrived, his mom was there to welcome us and showed us everything. The apartment is located in a quiet street with the bedrooms facing an even more quiet courtyard and it takes a 5-10 minutes walk to Taksim square and Istiklal Street. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, we always had hot water in the shower and the internet worked fine. We were also provided with everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend this place!
