Would 100% recommend Bahar's flat - just based on the views alone! One side is a beautiful view of the Galata Tower and on the other side a stunning view over the Bosporus. The flat was very tidy and clean. The living room was huge and the rooms were as well. The location is perfect, just 5 minute walk to Karakoy and 5 minute walk to the beginning of Istiklal street. The lift was very helpful (instead of lugging up suitcases up 3 floors) so it is a great bonus. The wifi was really good and fast. There are loads of places to eat and drink nearby and Bahar recommended a lovely place to have dinner. Communication with Bahar was excellent, she made sure she was available and was very helpful. We had a fantastic time in Istanbul and the flat was in a perfect location!
