Isik was very accommodating. He greeted us in the street as we pulled up in a taxi and immediately took us into the apartment. He explained how everything worked, gave us a public transport card and some handy local advice.

Great place to stay if you like a quiet, relaxing evening after a long day of walking, seeing, and the general hustle and bustle of Istanbul. The terrace is a massive plus point! The sunset is lovely.

The place is close to Taksim, which is an excellent point to start your daily Istanbul explorations.

There was a construction site opposite the apartment which started early mornings. This was a little annoying, but as we were out most of the time it didn't affect our stay. The nights were quiet.
