Isik is a very good host. He is always available, he personally welcomed us to his apartment and was very helpful during our stay. From day one until arranging the airport taxi.
But unfortunately the apartment was not as we expected. It is on the 3rd floor of a very old building with narrow round stairs. So if like us, you have problems with stairs, avoid this apartment.
In the apartment, the floors are squeaky and constantly squeaks when you walk. Also there was always smell of cigarette smoke in the stairs. The apartment was equipped with enough amenities, and everything was clean. The water pressure in the bathroom was very weak which made it difficult to take shower.
The location of the apartment is very close to Taksim Square, but the street which the apartment is located didn't seem to be safe at nights.
