I recently started going on a regular basis to Istanbul and I have to say that this host and this apartment were by far the best experience and stay i had in Istanbul. Reasonable pricing for a great apartment, super friendly and supportive staff and host, clean place and all of the amenities you can ask for. We spent 3 days with my significant other ina very good apartment in Kagithane, with top quality service, but the part I have to specify was the service provided during and especially after I checked out. We got our travel documents printed in the reception without any problems, when we needed soap, paper and other products they were promptly delivered to us free of charge, even though you havr to buy them from the nearby store, bit what made me satisfied the most was the after check out service. I had to check out at 11 a.m and my flight was at 8 p.m. The owner readily agreed with my request to stay in the lobby as much as I want,providing me with free coffees and bottles of water, as well as offering me tea and a meal,all free of charge. I charged my laptop and used their facilities without any problems. Best experience I had so far on Istanbul. I recommend this place to all travelers, and I will definitely come back again. Cheers and happy new year.
