The location of the apartment was perfect, all must see sites in Istanbul were available by foot or a quick taxi ride. The neighborhood was very cute with many shops/restaurants/cafe's nearby to satisfy all of your wants and needs. Istanbul is a beautiful city, we wish we had more time to spend.

Barbaros was an outstanding host. Bottled water was provided in the refrigerator, he showed us detailed locations on a local map of where to site-see, restaurants to eat at and even a couple of areas to do some shopping.

After our arrival in Istanbul, our luggage was misplaced by the airline for the first couple of days and Barbaros told us not to worry about contacting the airline about our luggage, that he would take care of making the follow up phone calls with the airline and for us to enjoy our time in Istanbul. He did in fact come through for us in a big way, we were able to visit all the areas in Istanbul we wanted to and Barbaros did in fact come through in a big way for us as we received our luggage within a couple of days. Thank you again Barbaros for your help!!! TEN STAR HOST!
