This was a beautiful apartment that was a great fit for my friends and I. The photos and description matched the listing and the views from both balconies were spectacular. The hosts were kind, friendly, and incredibly responsive. Before our stay, we made a couple of minor requests, which the hosts graciously helped us with. For those who haven't visited Istanbul before, this listing is very well located for sightseeing and visiting some great bars and restaurants. If you're a small to medium-sized group in need of a cozy—but yet private—apartment in Istanbul, this one would be worth considering for sure.
