This was our first time in Istanbul and Arzu was very helpful. I asked many questions from before I booked to the last day of our stay. Arzu was patient and did not get annoyed with any of my questions. They were answered with care and respect. The home is in a fabulous location that allows one to take a stroll safely. The location is right across from KFC and Starbucks. Papa Johns and other local cafes and eateries are on the same block/nearby. There is a Migos grocery/market within walking distance. A Money exchange is located right below the building (I suggest you carry dollar/euro/pound, Turkish Lira, and a master/visa card while in Turkey). Arzu’s home was fully equipped with utensils. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The pictures do not do justice. It was way bigger than the photos show. The home has beautiful lighting as well. The security downstairs are kind and helped to make the check in process smooth.
