Let me start by saying WOW! This place was beautiful! Well decorated, clean, breathtaking views, and central location. Pinar was very friendly and helpful upon our arrival. She clearly explained all there was to know about the apartment and surroundings. Contrary to many experiences I've had with apartments not looking as good as in the pictures, in this case, Pinar's place is even MORE BEAUITFUL than in the pictures. We looked forward everyday to coming «home» in the evening from our visiting since Pinar's apartment felt like home. We enjoyed the place so much that we often bought food at the market for supper and cooked in her spacious kitchen. The view from the roof terrace must be one of the nicest I've had in all the times I've visited Istanbul, the sunsets were amazing with the views of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Also, the apartment is about 40 meters from Istiklal Caddesi (pedestrian street with boutiques and restaurants) and about 50 meters from a metro station which is practical. Honestly, we were torn to leave this place at the end of our trip! If there's one place to stay in Istanbul, it is this apartment! Thanks again Pinar. We hope to be back!
