Yavuz was fantastic!! He provided us with free pickup from the airport, gave us information about all the whereabouts and popular areas in istanbul. He was very sweet and patiently helped answer all our questions. The apartment was clean and spacious. The neighbourhood was lively and busy. The apartment is approximately 5 minutes walk from the grand bazaar and there are lots of convenient stores and restaurants few minutes away. Only thing I'd like to mention is the walk to the bazaar is up the hill, we all loved it since we got our bit of exercise :D but it is something to consider. Other than that everything was absolutely perfect!!
