This was our first visit to Istanbul and we had a fantastic time. The apartment was in a perfect part of the city for us, being located very close to very hip and groovy areas full of nice cafes, restaurants and antique shops. All these in walking distance.
Access to public transport was very easy too, so visits to more distant sites are also unproblematic.

We arrived very late at night and were welcomed by Miko's friend Emre, who was extremely friendly and helpful with advice, even offering to spend a day with us to show us around or being on call at any time should we need help.

The apartment itself was cosy, warm and comfortable and we immediately felt at home. The fact that it has two terraces, the top one with stunning views across Bosphorus, makes us want to return again when the weather is a little warmer!

Miko is a very honest man, and communication with him was at all times pleasant, fast and informative. I highly recommend this apartment and will happily return - it is the perfect base for exploring this fascinating city.
