This place is great, walking distance to shops/metro/bus and Taksim Square. I stayed for 28 nights with my wife and son and this was the perfect place to explore Istanbul from. There are so many grocery stores a min away and thankfully the apartment is at the top of the street which means that someone like me from London will not need mountain boots to traverse the streets.
The kitchen has absolutely everything you can think of and the internet connection was fast. The Smart TV with Netflix access and also ability to stream YouTube was a godsend to someone with children. The only slight downside is that the internet cuts off in the bedrooms but it is easily rectified if you buy a WIFI extender, (they do not cost much from Amazon).
We had an amazing time and were made very welcome from Ezgli who came out to meet us very late in the night to help locate us when the taxi driver dropped us off not exactly outside. She stayed in contact throughout the stay and was always there to answer any questions.
It genuinely felt like home away from home, and continued to do so for the 4 weeks that we were there.
I cant pay much more of a compliment than that.
Thank you Aytan for letting us stay.
