Pinar's stylish apartment is even better in person than in the pictures. It is quirky with a rustic feel but very comfortable at the same time and has all the amenities you need. It is also in a brilliant location, close to Taksim Square and the Galata Tower, with great restaurants, bars and coffee shops on your doorstep. It is a lovely cosy and hidden space to come back to after a day of site seeing and the roof terrace is just amazing with a 360 degree view of the city. We would watch the sunset up their with an Efes most evenings.
Pinar was also very helpful, her lovely assistant Joel was there to greet us and show us around and Pinar was available to recommended the best places to eat. Aheste is a must for breakfast and Zubeyir Ocakbasi for traditional cheap Turkish dinner. Try Antiochia and Karakoy Lokantasi for something a bit more fancy.
Overall Pinar's place is highly recommended to all!!! We wouldnt have wanted to stay anywhere else!
