We had an amazing time at Ilker's apartment! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the Bosphorus view is simply amazing. Ilker is a wonderful host, he was attentive to our needs and quickly replied to any questions. His help with our luggage was also greatly appreciated since the apartment is located in the middle of steep stairs. Not really a problem without luggage, although a decent climb. The location itself is a wonderful starting point for any destination in Istanbul. There is a small grocery store downstairs which is very handy. All in all, highly recommend this place!
