My husband, adult son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was our first visit to Istanbul and we felt liked we were embraced by a little touch of old world Istanbul with all the modern conveniences. The apartment is charming, atmospheric and a delight to be in. There were generous inclusions in the kitchen and bathroom and communication with the host was prompt, useful and helpful. The location was fantastic too and we have to recommend the cafe around the corner called Privato. For breakfast, lunch or dinner it was like our own personal kitchen. The lentil soup and menemen are the best. It would be remiss not to mention the stairs because they exist. However, the enforced exercise climbing of 4 flights of stairs was a great workout and the views and pleasure of arriving to the apartment was always a joy...and a relief!!
