Everything with our stay went smoothly... The apartment was very nice, location perfect and Selim was very good at meeting up and keeping in touch and also getting a problem which arose fixed very quickly.

Heating was tip top, bed comfy, shower had hot water always, all kitchen appliances provided, and worked fine.

Before i go into a few subjective details id like to point out that the quality was excellent for the price and i definitely would book my next trip with Selim in one of his Swiss suites Studios. And also; although i noticed these things my girlfriend was; "man you are crazy" :)

1- The apartment is a modernized old apartment; the detail freak that i am i noticed many "unfinished" bits that are not possible to see in the photographs here. Were they any serious bother? Nope. But if you are or traveling with a real picky person, they might react more than i did too.

2- The apartment is very central. I think i actually could throw a stone from the apartment to the Istiklal street. But as Selim DID tell us before we booked, there is street noise. And in fact it was pretty serious; coming from the bar on the first floor of the next door building. Mind you, we were in the 5th floor and the windows were closed in the cold winter nights :) Earpulgs recommended.

Important to remember. You cant drink the water from the spring in Istanbul. Do remember to buy bottled water... Yes even for your coffee and tea :)

Have a great stay in Istanbul.
Levent :)
