The apartment is five stars. clean, beautiful, sea views, great grocery shop in the building , good facilities and lift. Its even nicer in real life than on the photos and for families the sea front and playground is a short walk away. its only downside is that it's one hour from central istanbul but that can also be an advantage. you get so much for your money here and your stay is more comfortable and quiet. pendik is a great suburb and it's town centre has great shops and local markets so you can get the turkish experience without the crowds and traffic jams of central istanbul. the icing on the cake is vahdet. he is there for you 24hours and you are his top priority. for example when we couldnt find a bottle opener in the flat he arrnage one for us in five minutes. from airport transfers to whole day istanbul trips or taking you around pendik or dropping you at local restaurants, his service is excellent and reasonably priced. he doesn't speak English but uses online translation services for communication and we had no problems with this. I cannot recommend this apartment and Vahdet enough. Thank you for making our trip so easy..
