We had a wonderful stay at Aysem's apartment. The place was clean, tastefully decorated, and everything was functional. Aysem was very prompt in communications, and provided solutions to any questions we had.

Although we arrived at 2AM due to a late flight, check in was flawless, and done through a door code and keys that were left for us. It could not have been easier.

The day after check in, I had a nice conversation with Aysem, who was very professional and informative.

I was pleasantly surprised with the area. Having never stayed in Ortakoy, I was pleased to discover the quaint small town feel of the area, nice cafes and restaurants, and wonderful view of the Bosphorus. The apartment was a 5 minute walk to the main street, and it was a pleasure to walk along the clean cobble stone streets lined with everything from friendly chickens to cats.

I would highly recommend the Smartapt to anyone visiting istanbul.
