We loved our stay in Istanbul at Dunya's apartment - it was clean, we'll equipped and in an excellent neighbourhood which felt safe, upmarket & was quiet. We got a sense of how locals live which is exactly what we wanted. Dunya is an exceptionally good host, easy to contact and very helpful. She even arranged a taxi early morning for us to transport to the airport which saved us dragging the bags and our children through the streets in the dark. Would certainly recommend the apartment and the area. My only small feedback would be to suggest some basic instructions in English for the washing machine and dryer. Thanks Dunya and all the best for your studies.
