We really enjoyed our stay in Eyup's quiet, comfortable but well-located apartment. A spacious living area, adequate kitchen and bathroom, smallish bedrooms but comfortable double beds. Eyup arranged our transfer from the airport (90 Euro return for the 2 of us) - he met us in person, left essential items in the kitchen and kept in good touch with helpful suggestions of things to do and places to eat.
Istanbul was amazing, friendly, felt safe, and the food is delicious.
