Izel is simply a fantastic communicator. He was so helpful, and regularly checked up to see that we were happy. Thank you. The apartment is situated very close to the Metro, and the funicular, for easy access to anywhere around Istanbul. The area is safe, and clean, with easy access to convenience stores and general shopping. The kitchen is not really ideal for cooking in, but this doesn't matter, given the huge number of restaurants at street level. The mattrasses on the bed are exceptionally comfortable. It was an enjoyable stay.
