Ulaş was a fantastic host, super friendly, welcoming and flexible. He picked me up at the bus station and even offered wine & cheese upon arrival. The apartment has a perfect location, in a calm street just a few blocks away from Taksim square (and the metro). The main tram line is also 5 minutes away by foot and there are various shops and restaurants/café just around the corner. The apartment has an "old-school" charm, it is quite spacious and stylish, clean, equipped with all the basic things you may need (including washing machine). The photos are all genuine. The bathroom is a little bit old-fashioned, but it functions properly. It was a perfect basis to discover Istanbul, teşekkür ederim!
