Our plane was delayed a bit, but Jack kept up to date and responded quickly to help us find the apartment. The location is very good, within walking distance from Taksim square, in an interesting neighbourhood. The room is, as mentioned, compact but manageable. The apartment and shower were great! Jack mostly left us to our own devices, but was sociable and an interesting person to talk to, with good suggestions for the city. The turkish breakfast nearby was delicious! We enjoyed our stay, and hope to meet up again!
