We traveled to Istanbul for a short vacation: Ozde's place appeared to be superb for our needs. The apartment is close to a wide array of restaurants, bars, attractions and public transport and it is an ideal place for anyone who wants to relax and get a real feel for this fantastic city. Ozde's friend who gave us the keys to the apartment (sorry, I forgot his name) laid out a very informative and convenient guide to the city as well. The space was welcoming and felt like home as we came back every night exhausted from sightseeing. This apartment lives up to its promises. Would gladly stay here again.
