Yakup's place is located in Beyoğlu area of istanbul which is one of favorite places among tourists. There are Istanbul's best bars and restaurants within walking distance. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street are easily accessible by walk.
The duplex apartment itself is nice and fairly clean with good beds and furniture. There are three bedrooms that have doors and a den area immediately up the stairs with a queen bed which works as an extra room.
We had a family reunion with 9 people, and found the apartment a good accommodation for such a large group. our only concern was the Beyoğlu area itself which is hardly accessible by car because of the narrow streets and heavy congestion. The elderly people in our group had some difficulties walking on steep streets of the neighborhood.
Yakup was very helpful and communicative. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
