Wonderful place in a wonderful city! I felt like at home from the first moment. The apartment was clean and lovely furnished. The balcony offers a magnificent view of the Bosphorus and the Asian side of Istanbul. The apartment is centrally located, close to Taksim Square, but in a quiet environment. It has free wifi, coffee and water, but there was no television-connection.
Gözde was a perfect host. She replied quickly and kindly to all my questions and asked several times if I need help or any recommendations for food, nightlife or sightseeing. If I go back to Istanbul, Gözdes apartment would be my first choice again.
