Sema and her family are nice hosts . The flat is conveniently located close to Istiklal street and has almost everything you need . The room is luminous, warm and comfortable and is stylishly decorated . Travellers need to take a few things into account though : first this is a heavy smokers' apartment which I personally had some difficulties to cope with, second the room and the bathroom both open directly onto the shared living and dining area which is a bit annoying privacy-wise (It's actually difficult to make sense of the real configuration of the flat from the pictures because they dont all correspond to the same arrangement of the furnitures ).
But if cigarette's smoke is not an issue for you and you just need a clean and quite place in a central location , that's a defenitely a good option .
