Just returned from 5 fabulous days staying at the Urban Blue Residence in Istanbul. The apartment is really great- with a lot of personal style and cool art works. Everything was very clean and comfortable - and well equipped with all you may need for your stay. The best part is the location- near the Galata tower in the heart of a trendy area of the city with many cool cafes, boutiques and restaurants on your door step. A lovely local grocery opposite is a great place to get a glass freshly squeezed orange and some fresh local bread. Doruk was extremely helpful and a great host - showing us around the neighborhood and pointing out the best places to eat. He was very helpful with questions throughout our stay and helped us book taxis. Can't wait to go back!
