My friend and I stayed at Nida's apartment in Istanbul for several days and absolutely LOVED it! It's super clean, nicely decorated the bed was very comfortable. Tea and coffee were supplied (it was lovely to make some coffee in the morning and sit outside on the patio), as well as everything needed for cooking.

We took a taxi from Ataturk Airport and the driver was able to find it ok, despite it being a short distance down a small alley where the taxi couldn't go. It is a nice and fairly quiet location, not far from the Taksim Square area where we enjoyed good restaurants and could take the metro to reach many of the sites of interest.

When we arrived, Nida was right there to welcome us and gave us a map with directions as well as a couple of books about Istanbul, which was fantastic. She was very kind about a slight schedule change where we needed to leave 2 days earlier than expected -- though we are still waiting for the refund (I don't think it will take long).

All in all, I highly recommend!
