Asli was a wonderful hostess, going well above and beyond to help us when our baby got sick and we needed to seek medical attention. The flat is very cute and in a brand new building in Kadikoy on the Asian side of Istanbul. Must take stairs down to the front door of the building, and a few more steps down to the flat on the lowest level. Even though in the basement, there is a floor-to-ceiling window well in the living room that lets in natural light. Asli cleverly covered the wall of this alcove in a photo-realistic wallpaper the looks like ivy growing on a stone wall. Wallpaper on living room wall looks like a city view from a window in a high rise. Living room sofa folds out to make a second bed. Kitchen suitable for light cooking, with a gas cooktop, refrigerator, and washing machine. Bathroom is very nice with another window to let in light, and dissipate steam from bath and cooking vapors from exhaust fan in the kitchen. There is a big storage across the hall from the flat where we could stow our luggage, which was very helpful, and kept the congestion in the flat down to a minimum. We were three adults and one baby, and this space worked for us a week. We would have loved to have stayed longer. Also, the WiFi worked great, and we didn't use the TV. Thank you, Asli, for a wonderful stay!
