Meltem was a very attentive host, acting as friendly, efficient and helpful agent for the owners of the property. The flat is well-presented to a high standard of renovation and design, and is superbly located in Istiklal St. in a charming old arcade. To get to the flat, which is on the penultimate floor of the building, you take a lift, then climb a staircase, walk around a few corridors and then descend another staircase, so it would be tricky for someone with mobility problems. Unfortunately the TV in the apartment wasn't working during our stay but hopefully this will have been fixed for future guests.
The one major negative for us was the night-time noise that came from a nightclub nearby. This was all the more frustrating as I had read about this in reviews by previous guests, had asked Meltem if this problem had been resolved and received the reassurance that the nightclub had closed. I can thus only assume that it, or another, has opened since. It was loud dance music with a thumping beat that continued until 2am each night and was so intrusive that I would not stay in this apartment again, despite the fact that the apartment itself is gorgeous and Meltem a delightful host.
