My girlfriend and me had a wonderful stay over New Year's Eve for 6 nights in Isil's comfortable, well equipped apartment.

Personally, I set big value on a clean and modern bathroom and a big bed, where you do not have any back pain after waking up in the morning. Both aspects fully satisfied me and as we stayed in winter time, the heating was of important use, too.

The location is very charming and nearby the hub Eminönü/Karakoy that you can explore the whole city within short time by bus and tram.

Isil's insider tips and help were outstanding, especially referring to the New Year's Eve party at a posh restaurant, where she even negotiated a better price for us and a great view. This is not as a matter of course, this shows she really wants you to have the best stay in Istanbul. No 5 star hotel can offer you this kind of personal service for that small amount of money! If you communicate with Isil, I'm sure she will advise you in any matter.

All in all, I can warmly recommend the apartment to all of you and you should consider planning more than 5 days in Istanbul, because of the great variety of sightseeing and to try all specialties of turkish food!!!
