If you reserve this apartment you will be in the best location for all Istanbul has to offer. The location is literally a few minutes walk from the main garden of Hagia Sofia and the cafes, restaurants, and museums. The apartment itself is spotless. We greatly appreciated the spaciousness of the bedroom (three beds!) and the living room which has a gorgeous view of the city and water. Watching the sun set behind the glistening water from the living room was one of the most memorable experiences of the trips; the whole living room turned pink. We snapped beautiful photos! Ali was a great host. There was someone ready to pick us up from a local restaurant close by and take us to the apartment. The guide, Ramazan, showed us around the apartment and told us he would help us with anything we needed during the stay. They offered airport transportation that we didn't end up needing, but it was comforting to know it was available if we did. Booking here means you will have a host who truly cares about your needs, is available 24 hours, and you will enjoy Istanbul with ease and comfort! We can't wait to return. This truly was a wonderful trip. Thank you.
