A nice stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable and as described in the listing. The terrace and balcony are really nice offering relaxing places to take in the sites and sounds of Istanbul. There was more than enough space for our family of four. We were met by Gaetano (brother of Lino) who was very kind and waited for us even though our flight was delayed and we arrived late in the evening.

The apartment is situated in a good location in Istanbul with easy access to all the major sites by Tram with the Tophane station being located an easy 5 minute stroll from the apartment. It is not in the heart of the tourist area which is nice since you get to see how the people of Istanbul live around you (in this area anyway) but you can easily walk to some sites in the area or as mentioned jump on a tram to the major sites within 10 minutes or so. There are many restaurants, vendors, mini markets and shops around the apartment.

The host was very clear and responsive in all communications. LIno and Gaetano were immediately helping us when we had a small problem that needed their attention.

If you are looking for a good place in a good area for a very fair price then this apartment should be a good fit.
