The host, views, and location are the highlights of the apartment. We had a very early morning arrival at 3:00 a.m. and worried this would be an issue. To our surprise, Kardelen was waiting in front of the apartment with a huge smile to welcome us home for the next six nights. We appreciate the quick response to any questions we had. There was an elevator, which is a huge bonus, since the apartment is on the 4th floor. The views are absolutely stunning. Galata Tower one city block to the left - with views of the Bosphorus to the right. I will never forget the views of the sun setting behind the Blue Mosque, breathtaking. If you are obsessed with water pressure as I am, you will be pleased, and the water remains hot - I know small detail, but this is a huge win for me. Thank you again, Kardelen for a memorable stay!
