What an amazing and stylish apartment this is! It has been beautifully renovated and the furnishings and fittings are of an extremely high standard. It's immaculately clean and fresh, with an ultra-modern, well-equipped kitchen and a small but well-designed bathroom. Yes, the stairs won't be suitable for everyone but we didn't mind them, it would have been worth the climb just for the views alone. The street is very peaceful compared to the bustling surrounding area so we were never disturbed by street noise at night, although we really enjoyed listening to the call to prayer from the nearby mosque in the late evenings and early mornings. Ezra's apartment is by far the best we've stayed in in Istanbul, it's absolutely beautiful.
Ezra herself is a very warm and welcoming host and she is very quick to respond to questions. She gave us many recommendations for places to eat and to listen to jazz, and she very kindly offered to arrange a taxi to take us to the airport when we left. I thoroughly recommend her apartment, it's perfect!
