I am finding it hard to find words to express how much I enjoyed my recent stay at Pinar's loft in Asmalimescit. I am an avid traveler, and I have been fortunate enough to have been able to stay at many luxury and boutique hotels all over the world. That being said, I must say that my recent stay at Pinar's loft was, hands down, the best experience I've had at a hotel or home stay in my entire life. It was complete perfection.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit that Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world. This has probably influenced my determination that this was the best stay I've ever had away from home in my life. That being said, if I could transplant Pinar's loft to any other city in the world I enjoy visiting, I think it would still be my favorite place.

While everything Pinar wrote in her description of the apartment is completely true, her words hardy do the apartment justice. The location is perfectly situated in a very trendy and central location in Istanbul, surrounded by shopping, hip bars, and amazing restaurants. The loft itself was completely spotless and perfectly decorated. Pinar's eye and attention to detail in designing the loft were impeccable. The loft is what I consider a perfect blend of industrial, modern, and organic elements, and she has utilized every square meter in the apartment to the fullest. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to come across Pinar's place while flipping through a design or interior decorating magazine. In addition to all the wonderful design and decorative elements she has incorporated in the space, Pinar has also added many intriguing and personal decorative elements that are completely unique and fascinating. As I mentioned, Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world and this marked my fifth trip to the city. I can't get enough of it. That being said, I oddly found myself longing to return to the loft each day just to enjoy the calm, inviting space. Spending sunsets on the roof was one of my most memorable experiences of the trip, the view is indeed unparalleled.

Additionally, I shouldn't neglect to mention that the apartment was completely spotless. Also, if you can manage to pull yourself away from the amazing food of Istanbul, Pinar also has a very modern kitchen with all the tools you will need to cook a gourmet meal away from home.

Although I was not able to meet Pinar face to face, I had a great experience in our communication both before and during the trip. She was very responsive to any questions I had, and was very clear in her instructions for our stay.

Although I have just left Istanbul, I am already looking forward to returning again in the not-too-distant future, and I can't imagine staying anywhere but Pinar's amazing loft. Thank you for the great stay!
