Aylin was fantastic! On a last minute booking, she was able to book a taxi transfer from the airport and meet us at the property with keys, a welcome and a smile. The apartment is everything you need to serve you in this wonderful city! Clean and spacious, just as it appears in the images. With a great terrace and grand view, enjoy wine (or beverage of your choosing) as the evening call to prayer echoes through the residential streets below. The neighborhood is quiet but not dead. People going about their everyday lives as normal. Small market right at the bottom of the property w/ an incredibly nice young couple happy to tell you of their German football cousins, while you buy milk or juice, etc. A short walk up to Istiklal Caddesi where shopping and people watching abound. Great restaurants too! Ask Aylin and she'll set reservations at some of the best in the area. Sishane metro station just a short walk away. Galata Tower too! All in all a wonderful visit to a beautiful City full of generous people! Enjoy :)
