This is a beautiful apartment, and very well located for sight seeing and nightlife. With just a few improvements it will be a five star location. Meltem is a very welcoming host, and was eager to help and fix the issues that arose.
The beds are comfortable and there is enough space for two couples to share without getting in each others way! The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine, but could be improved with adequate crockery and glassware. Locating the apartment on arrival would be much easier with good directions and a simple map - but it is worth it when you get there!
Istanbul is a beautiful, interesting and exciting city; Meltem's apartment is a great base to explore from.
