We stayed 4 nights in this apartment and found it to be exactly as described. The location was great - Taksim Square and Tophane tram stop we’re both short walks away which made it very convenient for reaching all of the main sights in Istanbul. Banu was a great host - she met us at the apartment and showed us where everything was which was really helpful, and she was accommodating to our arrival/departure times. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!
