I enjoyed my stay at Dilek's apartment. It's in a very nice area close to a Marmaray station (easy transportation) and a famous Bagdat street (lots of cafes, shops and restaurants). Dilek is a very responsive host, so I had no problem with communication. Everything was lovely! Two points of note to some visitors: the house has no elevator and it could be a bit noisy in the living room when you're trying to focus on work.
