Işık was a very good host and the apartment was great. While the place was VERY centrally located in the bustling part of Taksim. This did mean that there was some noise at night but since the bedroom is located in the back of the apartment, as long as all the windows are closed you shouldn't have any issues. The apartment is a perfect size for two people and Işık stocked it with everything we could need. I arrived quite late but Işık was very gracious to come greet me at the nearby bus stop. Thanks for the great stay and the hospitality, Işık!
