Ugur was great and extremely helpful, from the time we made the booking, until our arrival and through out our stay. He responds to text messages/emails immediately which is hugely reassuring!

The apartment is super conveniently situated a short walk from Iskital (the main thoroughfare through Taksim) & within the heart of Beyoglu/Taksim area, just off Taralabi Boulevard. Getting to public transport (buses, trams, etc) all were really easy and close to the apartment, and there are plenty of taxis permanently right there! Despite being so close to all amenties and transport connections, its situated just off the busy Tarlabasi Boulevard, in a quiet sidestreet where you can feel a more local flair of Istanbul, away from the hustle and bustle. Perfect!

We have two small children and being so conveniently located with access to taxis and public transport was very important.

The apartment is modern, clean and has everything required for a short stay - definitely on the top end of "budget" accommodation and we didn't need anything more! The air-con was greatly appreciated as it was hot and humid. And wi-fi was great, which was imperative for us.

We had a wonderful stay and when we return to Istanbul, will stay at Ugur's apartment again for sure, based on the great and hassle free experience we had. Ugur for example also let us leave our luggage with him as our flight back home was really late at night. Great, guy, great place - we love Istanbul!
