First time visiting Istanbul and we found Irem's place. It looked cute and modern and worth the value. Then we used google maps and was a little concerned seeing the street. BUT we were VERY mistaken. The building is delightful, modern, well taken care of. The apartment was clean, stylish and everything we could have hoped for. And the street, well once you're in Istanbul, you'll realize its very Istanbul. Just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of one of the main roads leading to Taksim square, filled with cute cafes, great shops, and friendly locals.
Irem is a great host as well. We had some issues with the keys and she was a true hero solving the problem way past even our bedtime. The car service from the airport to the front door was classy, professional and great added service.
We fell inlove with not only Istanbul, but also with Irem's hospitality.
