I liked to stay at Mustafa's place. He and his friend were very helpful. They explained how to get on the bus from the airport, they picked me up and took me to the place. Communication was great. Location for me was excellent. Very close to Taxim square, tram and metro. Taxi is available. Istanbul is like a fairy tale. It locates on the hills. There is some steep hiking if you like to walk. I liked some exercise. There was everything in the apartments what a tourist need. The bed was very comfortable, air conditioning. I would definitely stay there again.
