Ayla’s apartment is a beautiful space - perfect for a couple. It’s in a quiet street in the middle of a very desirable, fun part of Istanbul close to many of the attractions and lots of exciting places to explore and beautiful things to eat. The apartment has stunning views out across Istanbul (really, they’re amazing). Ayla was super helpful and accommodating with check in. We arrived in Istanbul on a late flight but Ayla and her son were waiting to help us check in and get our visit off to the best possible start. From then on, the apartment was the perfect home and away from home for an amazing few days in Istanbul. Many of the sites are walkable and it is in a very cool part of town so there’s lots to do whether you’re either new to Istanbul or coming back again. When I’m in the category of coming back again, I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again before I consider anywhere else!
