Selim‘s Apartment is like the city of Istanbul: Beautiful & hospitable. After a friendly welcome we just followed the little street where the flat is situated and then took one turn right + another one left uphill to reach the Blue Mosque. It was great to never need to bother with taxis or public transport as even the Bazaar district and the Bosporus ferry terminal are within walking distance. The house has only two floors and next time we would choose the upper flat (also available from Selim at airbnb). We liked the colourful toiletteries with plenty of towels and a big shower. Beds were also very comfortable and everything was very clean. Selim’s reply on our inquiries for sightseeing came quicker than we could ever decide what to choose :-)
We also enjoyed the cheap but tasteful dishes at the restaurant next door (stick to the dishes priced on the menue though as extras always come at excessive surcharges).
On one rainy April afternoon the smart TV provided nice entertainment (‚Midnight at Pera Palace‘ and ‚The Club‘ on Netflix give an exciting insight into the mysteries of Istanbul).
