Mustafa was a very helpful host despite the many questions and requests we had. The neighborhood is nice and safe, and within walking distance to Taksim square and Istiklal, so the location gets an A+. The apartment has two rooms, so it felt spacious enough for a week with 2 people. The wifi was fine for videocalls and the shower was the best I've had in 3 years of traveling. The TV is nice too and has netflix/youtube in addition to local cable channels. The kitchen was well equipped, which was important for us as we usually cook. Sometimes the sink could smell, as it was an old neighborhood, but we were the first guests, and Mustafa is trying to resolve that, so it might be better by the time you read this.
