Dilek's apartment was everything we wished for. Nearby there is a grocery store, a taxi stand and some lovely little restaurants and bars. We walked to most of the major sights such as Galata Tower, Blue Mosque, Bazar etc. The apartment itself offered a beautiful view on the Bosporus and Istanbul from the balcony. Dilek was very helpful with the late check-in and check-out and also talked to the taxi driver via phone in order to explain the way. We would definitely recommend her apartment and will gladly go there again.
