The apartment was, as advertised, large, safe and comfortable. The neighbourhood was nice and the city was easily accessible from the nearby metro station. The high street, which is about 5 mins walk from the apartment offers nice seat out cafes and eateries.
Best of all, Sayda was a great hostess, keeping in constant touch prior to our arrival and ensuring that we had all that we needed for a comfortable stay.
As a family of 5 with 3 very active girls between the ages of 7 and 11, we thoroughly enjoyed Istanbul and it was all the better for having somewhere comfortable to go to at the end of each day.
We strongly recommend Sayda's apt and will definitely stay there again when we return to Istanbul.
