We had a very early morning arrival to Istanbul on a bus from Bulgaria. Esen graciously welcomed us around 7am. We decided to sleep a couple hours then he made us a wonderful breakfast and helped us plan our week long stay in Istanbul. Next Esen took us on a walking tour and pointed out great places to eat and shop right around the corner!
The apartment is beautiful and in a safe secure building. The street is lined with very upscale clothing stores and there are two well stocked markets within a very short walk. Nisantasi is a great area. The Metro is about a 10 minute walk right up the street from the apartment!
It was a wonderful stay. I sometime used the kitchen to make meals and Turkish tea and coffee. Our bedroom was large and the king sized bed was very comfortable.The bathroom was just outside our bedroom door so very convenient.
Overall I highly recommend Esen and his wonderful apartment.
We will definitely return there if we are ever lucky enough to return to Istanbul.
