We had an absolutely exquisite time here. The apartment, which is colourful and comfortable (my favourite features were the large furnished balcony and the lavish ceiling-mounted shower) is located in beautiful Beyoğlu, Istanbul. The neighbourhood, though close enough to all the tourist spots that we just walked everywhere all week, is set appart from them by its relaxed atmosphere. If you wander the streets in the area you will find lovely cafés, thrift shops, fruit and book vendors, restaurants, and so on.
