Ali was a terrific host. Very attentive and helpful. When he learned it was our anniversary he made reservations for us at a wonderful restaurant and gave us a bottle of wine and cheese. The view from the large apartment terrace was amazing, with views of both the Golden Horn and the Bosperous. We loved watching the boats passing. It was an open floor plan that we really liked, and full of light. And the bed was very comfortable. It is in a great location, BUT on a very steep street, which helped us work off the Turkish pastries. There is early morning noise from the elementary school across the street.
