Fantastic apartment in the best neighborhood in Istanbul - you can walk to countless bars and restaurants, and the main tourist sites are easily accessible. We didn't meet Pinar, but her assistant Joel met us at the apartment, which was spotlessly clean and well appointed. At the end of the trip we were able to leave our bags for a few hours and come back and get them prior to our flight. The view from the rooftop deck is amazing, we spent some time up there enjoying the view. We would certainly come back to Istanbul and Pinar's place.
