The apartment was very stylish but also very comfortable: it was perfect for our group of five (my husband and I and our two young children plus my elderly mother!). There was a lot of thought in creating somewhere that felt pretty luxurious but also quirky and it was really good to have two bathrooms too.
The roof terrace is quite a few flights up but so worth it: you dont need to queue for the Galata tower as it has the most amazing view and we had it all to ourselves.
The best thing about the apartment (other than the styling!) was the location which I think cannot be beaten. It did mean that it was a little noisy at night (it is on the first floor) which didnt really bother us but might some.
We had no water for a few hours due to a burst pipe but Hafiz was quick to respond to me explaining the situation and offering to have water delivered. No real complaints at all. Only tiny thing is to make sure you get your own supplies (shop is five minutes away) as there is little in the flat other than water. Oh and only two bowls!
But other than this tiny tiny point, we would recommend this apartment as a wonderful base to explore Istanbul. Thank you!
