Aslinaz provided brilliant information prior to our arrival and we were able to reach her easily when we needed further info - we structured our time in Instanbul by our "bible", the culinary backstreets handbook and one of the recommended restaurants is at the base of the building so we enjoyed our first and our last meal there. The living area in particular was a beautiful place to unwind and offered several different spaces so we could stretch out and watch tv, work on our laptops, or enjoy a meal (from one of the seemingly infinite number of brilliant establishments in Istanbul).... thank you! Would definitely recommend, and would definitely stay again!
