First and foremost Deniz is very prompt in responding messages and incredibly helpful in everything related to the apartment, as well as going around Istanbul. (Her experience in hospitality business shows! She welcomed me with a big smile, explained everything and even made coffee for me!) The apartment is so lovely and cozy, you don't want to leave (but of course you should, you're in Istanbul!). She has really good taste in decoration of the apartment. The bedroom was very comfy as well, which is a biggie for me. Even though you're steps away from Taksim, the street and the neighborhood is quiet and well located with all necessary stores around. And taksim makes it easier to go anywhere you want in Istanbul. And Deniz was very accessible and approachable when you need something or have a question. So overall, when i visit Istanbul again, this will be the apartment i will check first. Thanks Deniz!
