Great stay - many thanks to our host - provided great assistance before arriving and during our stay. Location is very convenient for public transport, did not need to use taxis at all around Istanbul. Everything in the apartment was very clean and the layout is great with a separate living and sleeping area - comfortable bed. The apartment had all the amenities needed as well as a lot of thoughtful touches. The view from the balcony is amazing. Istanbul is busy and noisy night and day, so if you are a light sleeper bring some ear plugs. Very glad we stayed in this beautiful apartment.
