It's spacious and comfortable, with reliable internet and hot water. The location is great for accessing the city (ferries or Marmaray) and it's in walking distance to cafes, restaurants and grocery stores. I had a number of small problems with the apartment, but Demir was very responsive and addressed the problems quickly. He was also accommodating about my dates and check-in/check-out times. The apartment above was being renovated, not at unreasonable hours, but the noise was annoying. There's a friendly cat that hangs out in and around the building. The host gave me some snacks when I checked in, which was a nice touch.
