Zalal's place is right near to Taksim square which is super convenient if you are planning to visit Istanbul. The apartment is is ~15 minutes walk to Galata which is super convenient if you want to hangout there. Lots of eating places near. Always make sure to talk to Zalal if you want to be picked up from the airport or wants to go to airport, she is super happy to arrange the travel for you, and it will turn out to be a lot cheaper. Zalal is super quick in replying and is extremely polite! You will have a nice time here!
