Dilek's apartment is lovely, modern and very comfortable, even better than it looks in the pictures. The location is ideal to reach the subway, tram and a bus to the airport; if you prefer to walk, it takes around 30-45 minutes to get to the sights in Sultanahmet or ferries in Karaköy. The building is on a steep uphill street and there are two flights of narrow stairs to reach it (no lift) - not a problem for us but others may want to keep it in mind. Dilek made our check in really easy, waiting for us even though the trip from the airport was very long, and recommending some of the many restaurants in the area for dinner. Overall, staying here was excellent value for money and a chance to discover a great area of Istanbul. Highly recommended!
