We had a wonderful stay in this apartment! I would definenently recommend it, for several reasons:

1. The location. There is no better location. Very close to Taksim square yet in a very calm neighbourhood. Close to pitoresque cafés, bars and second hand shops as well as Istiklal street which offers more mainstream shopping.Close to the tram station Findikli which will take you to the main tourist attractions like the blue mosque, bazaars etc. Walking distance to the ferries to princess islands and around bosphorous.

2. The flat itself. We were looking for a flat which is cosy and feels like (or is) an actual home because we wanted to get the feeling of living in istanbul rather than staying at a hotel. This is it! Plus, it has a bohemian feel because of how it is furnished, which adds to the charm. The view fro both upper and lower terrace is fabulous. We stayed four people and this apartment works great for that many. Nicely fernished, good beds, enough chairs and tables etc. Great hangout place in the evenings when its nice and shady on the terraces:-)

3. The host. Communication with the host was professional, quick and kind. He is easy to get a hold of, very helpful and dependable. Also, laid back and relaxed. Plus he offers tips on what to see in Istanbul, there was a guide book in the apartment and a travel card ready to charge and use for public transportation.

Over all very nice!
