A really beautiful apartment in a central location. The only problem is that the street is a tiny one a couple of crosscroads away from the main action so the taxi driver will not know where to take you. This problem was solved by the advice from the host to tell the driver to drive to Hotel Pera Palas and afterwards explained the way on the phone. I wish I knew this before I arrived, that would have saved some stress on the spot as the driver tends to tell you he knows where to go and afterwards stops by every taxi station to get out and discuss with his colleagues.
Can't say I ever had a better host than Hatice, she is extremely helpful and nice. She even called a taxi for me at 6.00 in the morning on the day I had to leave and was already up and on the phone so early in case smth goes wrong. Many many thanks, Hatice!
