This is was my first time visiting Istanbul. Our flight from the US was long and tiring, but once we arrived to Yasmin's place (@1am), we met her niece who did the key exchange with us. So this was our first great impression. Although we arrived late, Yasmin made sure to have someone waiting for us at the door.
The apartment was spotless, and the bed was comfortable. The memory foam definitely makes a difference. The kitchen was a little tight, but VERY well equipped, so it served the purpose for preparing nice home prepped meals.
Overall, the flat was so cosy, welcoming with a good heating system. One morning, we had breakfast on the balcony (shown on the picture). It was amazing!
Moreover, the flat is located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Istanbul. It sits on a gently sloped hill that is accessible by vehicles. The building has no elevator, so count on climbing up two stories with luggage.
Overall, we had an AMAZING time at Yasmin's. We will be back!
