The apartment was just perfect -- a few minutes walk to Galata Tower and all of Pera/Beyoglu. The apartment itself is a treat -- so tastefully decorated and the books are the best part of the whole apartment! We were comfortable and loved every minute of our stay. Jason's private Guide to Istanbul was also a game-changer, and just a fabulous document to read as a companion to the city. We would come back to Jason and Jorela's place every month if we could!
