STAY IN THIS FLAT! Barbaros was an absolutely AMAZING host. We booked last minute to get out of a terrible apartment we had rented, and everything was ready for us within an hour! He was so helpful, showed us around and offered suggestions on where to go and what to do during our stay. We felt safe and secure in this neighborhood and in this apartment. It was quiet, but so close to all of the best sights in Istanbul! Just a short walk to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Grand Bazzar. I wish we had booked this apartment in the first place, and this is where I will stay anytime I come back to Istanbul! Such a great experience!
