The apartment was nice, clean and sunny. Very comfy is also the balcony. We traveled with little kids and this apartment is suitable for them too. The balcony is baby safe - it is made of bricks (so no holes...) and the wall is pretty high so they cannot fall down.

The bedroom is situated to the yard and it is nice and fresh (the sun shines to the opposite side, to the living room/kitchen and you can see the sunset from here too).

In the yard, there is a cafe downstairs (or something like this), but if people were noisy they stopped in a late evening. In the street, there you can meet a lot of local people - so you definitely feel like a local here! All were nice, we felt comfortably and safe there. Sometimes, they celebrated till late, but we were always so tired, so were OK with that. Anyway, you can hear the singing from mosques at night (twice) and around the whole Istanbul, so I think this is a part of the local culture to live at nights... (and it is not that hot like during a day too :-)

The kitchen has basic equipment, little fridge.. (good enough if you want to make a breakfast, dinner...), you are provided all necessary cleaning equipment (we used that pretty often, especially for balcony, since Istanbul is pretty dusty and kids were playing there).

Ugur is a very nice person, always ready to help. He also helped us with a forgotten bag and made local calls with no worries and no charges. I really appreciate this.

Plus In the house, you can find a lot of Ugur´s good tips what to see and where to go and how. So if you are not sure, what to do, it is a real help (independently, we had some of his tips in our itinerary, too!). Wifi in the apartment works very well and runs fast.
