The flat was very cosy and comfortable, arranged for travelers. The sea view from the balcony was very nice. We did not have any problem with heating or hot water. Müge and her husband were nice and helpful to us. The flat was very close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. Yet, it is wiser to stay away from back/side streets of Istiklal, especially in the nights. There is a bus station at 5 minutes of walking distance and you can find buses to many places from that station. The street where the flat is located is safe but the neighborhood (Tarlabaşı street) is not very safe in the nights for the foreign tourists so i advise you to be careful when you try to get home from that side. We were very happy and satisfied with staying here. Next time for our stay in İstanbul, we will definitely stay in Müge's place again.
