This apartment was FANTASTIC! Burcin was an amazing host and was very easy to contact whenever we had questions and gave us insider information on where to go and how to get there. The apartment was beautiful and had a lot of character and was very comfortable and felt like home. Only downside was that we couldn't figure out the public transportation system so we ended up taking Uber to the touristy area of town, but it wasn't that expensive. Would highly, highly recommend this lodging for anyone coming to Istanbul.
