My vacation in Istanbul was perfect thanks to my stay in Rutkay's studio, it was very clean and exactly as it is described. He waited for us for hours before we arrive and showed us the appartement, that was in a perfect shape, and was always checking if we were confortable and nedded something. As for the studio itself, it's in the best location in the middle of Istiklal street a place where you can find everything you need , few minutes on feet to arrive to Taksim metro station ( metro and funicular to Kabatas) , very close to airport shettles, and all kind of transportations. For daily needs, there is a supermarket named Sok in front of the studio that has everything ( bread, milk , vegetables, coffee ....). It was veeery special stay in this studio we enjoyed the charm of the city to the most , I sincerely thank Rutkay for him overwhelming welcome. If I amm to go back to Istnbul , I will for sure stay in the same studio.
