Consider yourself lucky if you managed to lay your hands on this absolute gem. It was my 5th visit in Istanbul and never before have I stayed in such an exqusitely decorated, beautiful historic apartment. Taylan's taste is impeccable up to the smallest detail and all adds up to the overall magnificence you'll experience also with the stunning private roof terrace, which is a delight rarely found in Istanbul. There even is drinking water right out of the fountain! I'd come back anytime.
With this stunning apartment, you fly with the eagle and don't scratch with the chicken. I write this because there are 107 steps to heaven, and they take you up to the 6th floor. I didn't mind at all since it's a good exercise, but you might regret it if you forget your mask/cellphone and only notice when you reach street level.
What else? Taylan is an excellent host beyond what you expect. He responds at lightning speed and makes you feel a friend instead of a tennant. Pure gold.
