This is a really lovely, and historic feeling, apartment just around the corner from Galata Tower in the Beyoglu neighborhood of Istanbul. Emilio and Marian are highly attentive to any issues that arise, and have done a great job creating a warm apartment that feels like a real home. We stayed with three kids for about a week, and we found the neighborhood to be safe and very convenient to great restaurants (try F&B Culture & Aheste). (The only thing to watch, not related to the apartment, is the taxis in Istanbul run constant scams: meter's broken, or they run two different numbers on the same meter, show you the low one when you get in and then try to charge the high one when you get out).
