Deniz made us feel very welcome, she gave excellent directions on how to reach the property and met us outside. She provided us with fresh fruits, tea, cherry jam (which is made by Deniz’s mom - that I can not forget the taste), coffee, granola, eggs, milk etc. items in the fridge for breakfast, which were amazing. The apartment was better than the photos; comfortable, clean and homely. A tasteful, generous interior design and everything you needed was there from water kettle to detergent (and even a dish washer was there), from white fresh towels to soap dispenser and comfortable bed for a good night. It has superb location, 10 minutes from Taksim and metro, that makes it perfect for visiting Istanbul by walking or if you want to use public transportation. I can say that the description of this listing is very accurate. Highly recommended!
