Nida and the Juno hotel were great. We were greeted when we got there and offered tea and coffee. Nida sat down with a large map and marked it with things to do and see and gave great recommendations of what times were best for each site and how much it costs.

The place is slightly off the beaten path (about 2 blocks or so) but it is very cute and we got the hang of where we were in relation to everything pretty quickly. We felt very safe as there was a main entry gate that requires a passcode and then another gate with code to get into our section. There were big heavy and kind of hard to open doors to the rooms which made us feel very secure. Beyoglu area right across the street hidden is an adorable area of tiny winding streets with bars and restaurants.

The apartment was exactly like in the pictures and was very clean. The AC worked great which was important because it was so hot. Finally at checkout, Nida's husband called us a taxi and offered us tea and coffee while we waited. Overall a great experience and we had a wonderful time in Istanbul!
