I stayed in Aysegul's apartment for six nights. I had the whole place to myself and so I was quite comfortable. The taxis in Istanbul are cheap (in theory, but beware) and there is a metro station nearby. The grocery store is a quick walk from the apartment. Due to a medical emergency my flight was two hours delayed but Aysegul was understanding and patient about the whole ordeal. I appreciated that. Communication was wonderful. You have all amenities nearby. For those who care about beds - these are on the firm side. For the budget this was a great stay. Thank you Aysegul.
