Barbaros’s place was just as pictured. It was clean and beautifully arranged. 5 of us stayed here very comfortably for 2 nights. Barbaros’s partner Ali was so helpful. He was always available if we needed anything at all. He went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. He was friendly and respectful. This apartment is ideally located for first time visitors of Istanbul as it is within walking distance of the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sofia. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. We recommend to anyone.
