This place was an absolutely WONDERFUL experience. It's a 5min walk from all the main attractions of Istanbul. We had his fabulous two bedroom apartment, and the interior was gorgeous, the kitchen was fully stocked. But moreover, our stay here was a perfect combination of feeling at home and having all the amenities of a hotel. Barbaros had his main man, Ali, at our every beck and call, and I mean literally 24hrs a day. He arranged for all our transport. He not only made sure that our stay was as comfortable as possible, he was there whenever ever we needed help with anything. He made sure that we get the perks the locals are used to, and we never ended up paying extra for being tourists. My sincerest gratitudes for Barbaros and Ali.
