Overall it was a very good experience and we had a comfortable stay in this well laid out apartment. The finish of the decor is excellent. The furniture looks new. Even the bathroom is stylish. The balcony to the front is a lovely feature where we enjoyed sitting to have coffee in the morning. From the bedroom at the back we had an amazing view of the city and the Bosphorus. When we felt lazy we used the lift which is very smart and efficient. All the staff are extremely helpful and went out of their way to help us with our many queries. The only issue we had in Istanbul was the taxi drivers, seemingly out to fleece tourists - avoid them if you can! To that end, it would have been useful to have had some information in the apartment about local transportation links. We see ourselves coming back!
