Thanks for being an excellent host, Orkun! You were very understanding when we had a personal emergency, and for that we will always be very grateful. A true gentleman! You responded immediately to any of our needs and recommended wonderful places to eat in the neighbourhood. By the way, Beyoglu is where the best restaurants in Istanbul are.
The apartment was newly renovated, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The view over Istanbul was wonderful and in mid August we enjoyed sitting in the terrace at dusk or during the night, sipping a fresh turkish wine. A cool breeze would always keep the apartment fresh, but if you prefer, there is air-conditioning in every room. Good to have 2 bathrooms since we were five, and as every room in the apartment, they were very spacious, nicely equipped and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, too and had fresh linen. There was lots of space in the closets for our clothes and luggages, so that the place always looked organised and as beautiful as when we entered it the first day. I wish I could stayed there with my family a whole month, it felt great to be in such a wonderful space, full of light and surrounded by wonderful views, centrally located but not in a touristy street, so that we had a chance to enjoy the friendliness of locals where we would buy fresh fruit, bread, nuts and dried fruits, wine and everything we needed, just meters away. I would recommend this apartment to anyone going to Istanbul, you would certainly enjoy it as much as we did!
