Istanbul is the 2nd Rome; and Kalen, your host, fits right into that in the most literal sense. It is not just a lodging you will rent here, but instead a priceless experience that you will trade in exchange for your esteemed company, as Kalen walks you, step by step, from wherever you live to the banks of the Bosphorus and from there, directly to its magnificent charms.
Spacious apartments situated bang in the center of the historic city; from this location, you are never far from anything important that Istanbul has to offer the newcomer-and you indeed are no more than 12 hours from anywhere else in this beautiful country should you wish to use that opportunity.
Kalen offers two hour introductory- I would say essential - tours of the most important historical sights and experiences everyday for those that are interested; he takes pains to show you where to dine well and how Istanbul's complex civilization works. If you want to know more, just ask Kalen - he is always there for you!
