Irem’s apartment was lovely and me and my partner really enjoyed our first visit to Istanbul staying there. Check in was really easy and Irem arranged both of our private transfers to and from the airport that actually worked out cheaper and a lot less hassle than booking it ourselves. The apartment was really clean and had all the items you needed in there such as shampoo, conditioner, tea bags, a steamer and hairdryer. We also went to one of Irem’s recommendations for dinner for our last night that was called restaurant hamdi pera which is only round the corner and had a gorgeous view of Istanbul and great food as well! Her apartment was also walking distance from Taksim square.
