The apartment was an excellent base for our first time in Istanbul. We could explore the city sights easily from here. The absolute best thing was the apartment was so quiet at night - I bought earplugs expecting it to be noisy but I didn't need them. Plenty of heating in winter for us and plenty of hot water. We liked having a spacious living area with a stunning view out over the Bosphorous. Our hostess was fast with her communciations and really helpful organising a number of airport transfers. After a 26 hour flight it was really nice to have an early check in. Thanks Nahide for a great stay.
