The host:
Recep is a fantastic host, very responsive and pleasant to deal with. I booked the unit and along the way had a few questions and requests which he happily took care of. I have no doubt that I will be back and would reach out to Recep to stay in one of his units. I consider him a friend at this point have no hesitations recommending him, I know you will be in good hands

The unit:
The unit we rented is very close to Taksim, I would say there is about 10 min walk to the center. There is quite an uphill so be aware of that but note that anywhere near Taksim will have the same situation. This unit is very quiet even though it is on the 1st floor. It is a nice sanctuary after a day of walking around and enjoying the beautiful city.
