The apartment was nice. It was very close to taksim square. Hardly 2 min walk. However the apt was on the forth floor and there was no lift. I had lost one of my bags and isik and his brother were very helpful in tracking down the cabs licence plate. The sheets were neat n bathroom equipped with towels. There was no microwave oven sadly.
They helped me with my bags when I checked out.
Sadly one set of the keys was with my brother who had left earlier n took the keys with him to the university which was an hour away from taksim. I had repeatedly requested Isik that he will get the keys as they are of no use your us. It was only a bad circumstance that he couldn't come to return the extra key set as his project n exams were going on. What upset me most was that the owner had THREATENED ME that if he doesn't get the spare keys he will call the police. In a country where no one speaks English and you are a guest I felt threatened that this man will harm me over something.
So overall it was a very disturbing experience for me and I would not recommend this person as a host to anyone.
