Tolgas place is a great place to stay. It is clean, cute and has everything you need. It is located in a very nice area quite close to Taksim square but on a quiet street. It has good places to eat, supermarkets and many quaint little antique shops nearby. Furthermore Tolga is a very nice person and a great host. We were late to arrive from the airport and he waited for us for over an hour which meant he became late for work. Despite that he took time to show us the apartment and to answer any questions that we had about the area. We will stay at Tolgas place again when we return to Istanbul.
