This is a great apartment for the price. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay including a washer and dryer. The unit is located about 15 minutes from either Taksim or Galata and there are plenty of markets close by. Tayfun is a very responsive host who patiently waited several hours for me to arrive due to a delay in transportation. The only negative is that the unit is close to a mosque if you are not used to hearing the muezzin in the early morning. I would definitely stay there again.
