I brought my sister and her 3 kids to Istanbul for vacation and Kardelen's place was fantastic for a bigger group like us. She has an incredible sense of design and thought of every detail you could possibly need, guide books, house slippers, etc...The location is great, a 1min walk to Galata tower and several cool cafes and galleries. Washer and dryer was also a huge plus! I wish there was air conditioning as it's incredibly hot in Istanbul in July but Kardelen went out of her way to provide us with a new fan. Overall I absolutely loved the place and highly recommend any of her properties, especially to those visiting Istanbul for the first time:)
