Kursad is a great host. Very helpful and always stays in touch. The apartment is as listed and as on the pictures. The location is very central and in the very safe neighborhood. Like 5 min from the main street Istiklal and also 5 min to metro station, so you can travel anywhere easily. There is a school right behind the wall, so you can hear them sometimes. But they are not that noisy. You have all you need in the room, big bed, kitchenware, towels, hairdryer. There is also a common washing machine downstairs in the house and a cleaning service. The quality of the apartment for this price is very high. Overall it is a great place to stay! I would recommend it for your stay in Istanbul!
