Emilio and his wife are good hosts. We were welcomed on the time we asked for with a lot of care and information which made the start of the stay even more pleasant. The location of the apartment is perfect, one of the best in Istanbul, a lively upcoming neighbourhood with a lot of new restaurants & cafés around. There's a very authentic Hamam on the corner of the street, which I would surely recommend! Every other location in the city is easily reachable as this neighbourhood is very central, a twenty minutes walk will take you over the bridge to the old town. Taksim is not even 5 minutes away. The boot tour stops are on a walkable distance. The apartment is very convenient, nicely refurbished and practical, the patio is a great asset. We would definately recommend their place to every one visiting this beautiful, interesting, rich in culture & history, lively city! We had the best time, thank you! Delphine & Natacha & Cagri
