Wonderful stay and wonderful host! My first trip to Istanbul so most of the time out exploring. But started and ended each day with the most amazing view of the Bosphorus River!! What a treat! The apartment is very comfortable and equipped with anything you would need and markets nearby if you want to have food…. But many cafes, restaurants so not needed! I was traveling for a month in Egypt and Turkey so had heavy luggage. The apartment is on 4th floor so Halil helped me get luggage up…. And down when I left! Also my travel plans changed at last minute and arrived 1 day early. Halil made sure I had a place to stay that extra day- very near this apartment. Very very grateful for that! Can’t imagine a better apartment or a better host! I’ll be back!!!!
