Shin is a wonderful host with a keen eye for detail.

He met us straight from the airport, accompanied us to the apartment and took his time to show us round, explained how everything worked and made us feel completely at home.

Anticipating we would the chill, he had even put on the central heating for us.

The fridge was stocked with complimentary soft drinks, juice as well a fruit and there were also biscuits and light snacks – well appreciated after a long journey.

The flat was very comfortable, contemporarily furnished and had all mod-cons.

It could not have been more in a more central location and we returned each day after exhaustive site seeing - really feeling it was our home from home.

At Shins instance we were able to contact him with any doubt or question we had - it felt like we had a good friend on hand.

We hope to visit Istanbul again in the new year and we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere other the Shin’s apartment. A wonderful experience and very good value for money.
