Ergun was really friendly and helpful, and responded very quickly to requests / queries.

The place is situated in a very busy area but it's at a good vantage point for Istanbul with handy transport all around. It is a little noisy, but not so bad - occasionally there is a band practicing quietly downstairs but for me it was ok.

Ergun also provided staples like cookware, maps and hairdryer which all came handy. The people who work in the area (in bars, shops etc) are also friendly, and though the area has a lot of tourists, the street seems quieter when you're in the apartment.
