From the first moment we walked in the door we could feel that we made an excellent choice. True to her word, Pelin (the owner) met us near the apartment and was always available for any queries. She also was kind enough to arrange a private transport to the airport and even came by on our departure to say goodbye.
Pelin has certainly made sure that the finishes and furnishings are of the highest standard. There is everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. We always looked forward to returning to the comfort and serenity of our apartment after a day out. The apartment is centrally located in a very pleasant area and we always felt safe. We could walk to all the places, including Sultanahmet area and to the ferries at Katabas which take you to Princes Islands. Trams and Buses are also close for when one wants to wander further away. We never had the need to take taxis and using the Istanbulcard makes travel on all public transport a breeze.
Moreover Turkish people are really very friendly and even the market sellers are quite courteous and not overly insistent.
When our holiday was over, we found it difficult to leave and want to return as soon as possible.
