Abdu was an excellent host and the apartment was exactly as described. We were provided with everything we needed for a great stay, and when we did have questions about the apartment, Abdu always answered promptly and helpfully.

As you can tell from the pictures, the apartment itself has a stunning view of the Bosphorus — even more stunning in person, if it can be believed. The location is as close as you can possibly be to the major transportation options (train, ferry, bus) that take you anywhere in Istanbul. However, the neighborhood that the apartment is in, Üsküdar, is wonderful in itself.
