We really enjoyed our stay at Selim's palace in Istanbul. The neighborhood is quite safe and very close to the main Istanbul attractions.
The apartment is kept clean and sufficiently big for four people. Selim is a very nice person to talk to. He was gracious enough to take us to the medical store when our daughter required medication.
He also showed us a nice restaurant where locals frequent. The food was really great. Istanbul is a great place to visit and we will come again. Of course, we already know where we will stay.
