I enjoyed my stay at the place, the apartment is very clean, all appliances are in good condition. 5 - 10 minutes walk to Taksim square, Istiklyal street or Bosphorus. My interaction with the host during my 1-week stay was limited to a phone call and a couple of watsapp messages on the days of arrival and departure. If this is what you are looking for, then this place is a good option for you.
