We had a wonderful time in Istanbul and the apartment was just superb.
*LOCATION* - It's an amazing location with breathtaking views out over the bosphorus. A short walk through a park to some lovely local restaurants on the waterfront.
Emirgan Park is literally meters away which is stunning, and gets a nice breeze given it's up on a hill - lovely spot for a little picnic.
We took a little boat over the water to the Asian side of Istanbul - great fun and nice little cafes to explore.
From the metro station in Maslak, the old city, Grand Bazaar, Taksim, Beoglu can be reached quickly and efficiently.
*APARTMENT* - The apartment itself is super modern, airy and bright, with a lovely balcony to sit and relax with a drink, or to watch the sunrise (if you're an early riser!).
There were two amazing bathrooms and everything we needed was in the kitchen - including an Espresso machine for that morning coffee.
Strong WIFI throughout the apartment too which is always super handy.
Highly recommended and a big thank you to Simon - great communication throughout.
