I could not have asked for a better host! Yusuf knows and understand the importance of good hospitality and great customer service. The apartment exceeded my expectations! Very clean, stylish and is situated in a beautiful prime location. Even though these are apartments the place is run much like a hotel. There was a receptionist at all times to cater for your needs. All the main tourist attractions in Istambul are within a walks distance which saved us money on taxis. Take advantage of the fitness room and the private turkish bath/sauna down stairs(recommended). One thing that stands out better than most places is that the hospitality extends beyond the apartment. There is an impressive array of local cafes and grocery stores that will look after you when you mention where you are staying (thats a VIP service you don't even get in 5* hotels and I have stayed in many). In short I highly recommend a stay here. Great value for money! Be prepared to make some new friends, the people are great!
