We really enjoyed the comfort of this place. Julie and Faruk did an excellent job with communication. Check in and check out both were very simple and fast. I would recommend this place IF you have visited Istanbul before. The only reason I'm stating this is fact is the location. It might be little aggressive for a first timer. It is located in a rough neighborhood but the complex is very safe with extra locked doors and cameras. Prior to booking, please consult with the host regarding to what floor you will be staying. We stayed at the "4 th " floor, number 5 apartment. It might be little too much to walk for some people. We had big luggages and host accommodated for us to use the #1 apartment to store our luggages. We are used to walk the stairs but it might not be suitable for some. Thank you Julie and Faruk for your hospitality.
