Wonderful space. The balconies were great for morning coffee (out of the master bedroom) on the still cool side of the building and sitting through the evening, overlooking the Bosporus. Great location. Far enough from the bustle of Taksim, close enough to stroll into Sultanahmet and back for a leisurely day taking in Istanbul. The host was very helpful arranging airport transfers and accommodating when I wanted to add an extra day. Could not have been a better experience. Effortless and relaxing.
