This was our first trip to Istanbul and it was shorter than we would have liked. However we really appreciated having a self check in with a lockbox code due to the late time that we arrived in the evening. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and was quick to reply. The apartment had a wonderful balcony with a breathtaking view. However since it is on The top floor, you should be aware that that is several flights of stairs that could a challenge if you have heavy luggage . We really enjoyed the apartment. The host had several special touches and it was decorated beautifully. The apartment was clean And well furnished.
