Terrific, perfect apartment with great views. The location is great with access to tour boats and ferries to the Asian side of Istanbul. Taxis and public transportation are right a block away, yet because the apartment is on a hill it is very quiet. Emir was a terrific host he helped with everything even getting our bags to and from the apartment, provided recommendations and guidance when asked for, he was the best! His parents live in the building and they were available to help get us whatever we needed or wanted, they are really nice people and very cordial and very helpful. This will be our forever home when we come to Istanbul.
