We had a great stay at Nidas apartment and can truelly recommand this place to everybody! The apartment is very clean and friendly decorated. It is supplied with all necessary items and Nida was very cooperative when we had extra wishes like a tea pot or wine glasses. We also liked the neighbourhood very much - the apartment it is located in the colourful Beyoglu, situated in a small alley, surrounded by little shops and a farmers market on Fridays. The immediate neighbourhood is not touristic at all, but you can reach Istiklar Cadesi within 2 minutes of walking distance, and taxim square in 20 minutes walking to the north, walking to the southeast - in the direction of Istanbul modern - you walk along a little street with many nice bohemian taverns, boook stores and alike.

The place it not easy to find, but Nida was very helpful in giving us directions, talked to the taxi driver herself via telephone to explain the way and picked us up around the corner. She gave as a very warm welcome and made us feel at home at once, offering us wine, a map including tips for places to see. We could always reach her and she was extemly cooperative, making sure a friend who later joined us would also be welcomed. Additionally she offered us a free laundry service and we could store our luggage at her place when we left the city for a couple of days.

Nida is a great hostess - she is not only very professional when it comes to accomandating and supporting her guests, but also a friendly, warm and interesting person and we really enjoyed talking to her about Turkish culture and alike. We are looking forward to coming back!
