The apartment itself was just what was advertised. It was clean and comfortable. We stayed for 4 nights and we slept like we do at home. Comfy beds! The apartment was ideally located near metro and the funicular stations making getting around easy.

We can now call the host a friend. He made sure our stay was perfect! There are so many things that he didn't have to do but did, including; setting up a private shuttle to and from the airport, provided us with a prepaid cell phone with his number programmed in (and he really was available at any time to answer any question), he took the time to write down all of his local spots that he likes to eat and explore, he and his son even spent his Saturday with us taking us to places that we would have never seen otherwise, he called us at 5am to make sure we were awake for our ride to the airport, he set me up with some of his friends to go and watch a Turkish League Football match at Galatasaray....the list goes on.

This really is a great place to stay, and a great city....wish we had more time!
