Anyone who wishes to spend quality time in Istanbul - our recommendation is, stay with Julie.
Living-room, bedroom plus fully equipped kitchen and satellite TV is everything you could desire. Public transportation (bus) next door, metro a bit further away. Very central. Wonderful cafes and restaurants right next door. Music and nightlife as well. Shopping too.

Thank you Julie for arranging for airport pick up. Smooth as silk.
If you are old and decrepid we do not recommend the apartment as it is 4 floors up, no elevator. For everyone else the exercise will consume all the extra calories you put on with delicious Turkish food. Do not forget the backlava, it is superb.
Our Ambassador/Editor-in-Chief couple gives 10/10 to Julie.
