Shahrzad was a great host. She met us and checked us into the apartment. We had no issue finding its location. The apartment is exactly as explained and pictured. Super cute and the apt accommodated the 6 of us perfectly. The only thing I would caution other travelers about is the location. It's in a non-Turkish/non-touristy part of Taksim. Just felt a little uncomfortable walking in and out of the apartment, but no complications.
