Asim is a great host, he responds very fast, he is always available and very friendly, we had some issues and they were dealt with promptly and professionally by Asim. The Flat is on a hill, and there is a corner shop about 50 meters away very convenient, we bought all we needed from fresh fruit to bottle water from this shop. There is also a cafe next door which is perfect for lunch. The location is great as you could walk down the road for 10 minutes and get to the Tram line which goes direct to the most touristic sites in the golden horn area of the city in about 15 minutes. also Taksim square is around 12 minute walk where you could get the Metro, so location wise it is great, just make sure you are fit to walk up and down the hills and lots of steps. I would recommend using the public transport and avoid cars as the traffic in this city is crazy bad. Overall we had a great time staying in Asim's place, thanks Asim for all your help.
