First, Selim is so nice and helpful. We were able to communicate with him before our stay and during. Check in and out was very easy and convenient. His apartment is excellent: very clean, great layout- we loved that the bathroom was divided between the toilet and the shower with a sink in each. The apartment was well supplied and the air conditioner kept the apartment cool. The location is great, right off of Istiklal Street. This can make it noisy at night however, particularly on the weekend, with loud music and people. But the excellent location, apartment, and host make it well worth the stay!
