We had an enjoyable time at this villa. We were gathering together for a family reunion, 26 of us coming from 3 different countries. We had to rent 2 villas. We used this villa as the place for all of us to gather on most days.
The villa’s location is very good, very posh area on the Asian side of Istanbul. It is very far from the tourist area. We knew this and were ok with the one hour travel time when we wanted to go sightseeing or shopping at the Grand bazaar, etc. The view is beautiful and the pool and the backyard was perfect for our family gathering. One of the best conveniences was having a supermarket within walking distance. We also appreciated Mr. Adnan’s quick response when issues arose, like kitchen sink leak, bathroom leaks, etc. He offered to bring a plumber to fix everything next day but since we wanted to go sightseeing we refused, we just found ways to work around these minor issues. Mr Adnan also helped arrange for our first night’s transportation from the airport, this was very helpful. The only issue for us was the house itself felt somewhat old and neglected. You could see that in the past it must have been a grand house but now it needs some care. We expected better quality sheets, towels and kitchenware. This was the only thing we were disappointed in. Overall it was a great stay.
