We fell in love with the place the minute we saw it - the Bosphorus view was stunning and we were tempted to spend the rest of our stay on the terrace :) Ilhan was a very accommodating host - he waited for us at the apartment although we arrived a few hours earlier than the official check-in time, gave us a thorough tour of the place and gave us a good orientation of the city using the huge map of Istanbul on one of the walls, and made sure we had a safe ride back to the airport on the way back. The apartment is very airy, stylish and comfortable. All the furnishings are selected with great care and a personal touch is felt on every piece, not to mention the 'antique museum' which Ilhan was not afraid to trust us with. We admired being able to see and hear the sea gulls, the boats and the Istanbul sights straight from our place, it really made our vacation unforgettable.
