My family and I just got back from Istanbul, where we spent one month in Arif’s apartment.
The apartment itself is very cosy and well equipped with everything a guest needs for a longer stay - in the kitchen, bathroom, as well as in the living and sleeping areas…with bed linen and tons of clean towels, as well as personal care products. The highest mark, however, goes for the terrace, which has an amazing view of the neighbourhood with the lakes and beautiful houses with surrounding greenery around them. I could seat there for hours just drinking coffee or simply enjoying the view. Bosphorus City, otherwise, is a gated residential community with excellent conditions for family stay - restaurants, shops, children’s playgrounds, with fairly good connections with the central areas of the city.
As far as the owner of the apartment is concerned - I would need a whole page to describe everything he did for us…Check-in and check-out was very smooth, after we have arrived he took us around the complex to show us the area, the shops and the best restaurants. During our stay we were in a need for unexpected shopping of some necessities for our 3-years old daughter - a new stroller (since hers was broken on the plane), a small refrigerator for medicines, to name a few…and Arif always arranged for us to get the product directly in the apartment…I even somehow forgot my sunglasses in the taxi while we were exploring the Asian part of the city several days before leaving, and again Arif helped me to get them right at home. With one sentence - he is an incredibly amazing host, respectful and helpful ad maximum.
I do recommend Arif’s apartment for everyone who wants to enjoy the convenience of the stay in the marvellous city of Istanbul…
