Izel was very kind and very helpful. He sent us a very detailed recommendation about restaurants and cafes, public transport, turkish baths and sight seeing ideas. The apartment was better than I expected! The apartment is in a busy district, but it is in a quiet street just a street away from the pedestrian street, which is full of nice local shops. Galata tower is just on the corner, there are a lot of very good restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood. The apartment is quite big, the beds are comfortable, the rooms are quiet and the design is modern but rustic. It is very clean and well equipped. I'm in love with Istanbul, and I'm sure if we come back I'll choose this apartment again as accommodation.
