Loved Istanbul and would go back tomorrow. The penthouse was conveniently situated for Beyoglu. Quite a climb to the top of the building but didn't pose too much of a problem. The area itself was a bit run down and a lot of buildings were being pulled down but I guess the area is being regenerated. It wasn't quite as easy to find as we had hoped and we had to ask for directions from several different people. Damir was very helpful and there was a lot of info in the apartment. Everything was there that we needed. A great stay.
