Yıldıray’s place is a great apartment to stay in Istanbul. The location is very close to the train station, about 10 minutes or so. But as some other guests have commented, the walk is uphill, though it was not an issue for us, someone with walking difficulties may find it challenging. Close to the apartment are also also little shops you can buy everyday items, so this was very convenient. The apartment itself looks exactly like the pictures and is clean and tidy. I loved how the apartment had little amenities as surprises for the guests, such as Turkish delights, a fridge magnet and Turkish coffee. The apartment was also stocked with cleaning items, detergent, and some items for cooking. As international guests travelling, this was very helpful. The apartment's living room has an AC though the rooms didn't. As it is winter when I travelled, temperature in rooms didn't matter, though it might be in issue during summer. Musthafa was extremely helpful - quickly responded to messages, always available and a great host! Id highly recommend this place to stay in Istanbul.
