Samet's place gets great ratings for a reason. First, Samet is incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful. His system for check in and check out function super well. Second, the actual apartment is just wonderful. There are so many interesting and artistic touches that help you feel pampered. Third, the view looking across the Bosphorus is amazing both day and night. Make sure you catch a sunrise while you're there. Fourth, the location is wonderful! Just a short walk to all the main attractions of the old part of Istanbul. Its perfect for tourists. You do have to able to walk stairs though.
