Nida and her husband are fantastic hosts - the very best that we have come across. They are very welcoming and are very helpful with local know how - they go to every extreme to help you out and nothing is a problem. I will stay here when I return to Istanbul. The location is fantastic - right amongst the action and don't hesitate to ask for assistance from them - they are more than willing to assist and their local knowledge is life saving. You won't go wrong staying here - a private flat in a great location.
