We very much enjoyed our stay with Nida in Istanbul. The apartments were well appointed, clean, and it felt like a high end boutique hotel. The neighborhood can feel like it's a bit off the beaten path, but the hotel is like an oasis of calm in a busy city - plus it's very close to Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. Nida stayed up very very late to let us in (around 1 am) and she was great throughout our entire stay.
