While I didn't personally meet Barbaros my friend who was staying with me did, as he arrived before I did. He welcomed him and showed him around the beautiful apartment. Funny enough he ran into him after we had check out, at dinner, and they ended up having tea and dessert together! Very welcoming indeed!

The apartment was also great! The location is good as it's very close to everything you want; Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia are all within very short walking distance (10 minutes).

The place was very clean and the beds were very comfortable, and the wifi worked perfectly!

It's a great place if you just need a place to sleep but it's also great if you want to chill out in the apartment and relax. Really makes you feel like you're in your own home.

Thanks Barbaros!
