The apartment was beautifully finished and spacious. Kevin and Merve were very responsive and booked our airport transfers each way which saved a lot of hassle, especially given how unreliable Istanbul taxis were generally! The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable. There was quite a bit of noise at night but this is to be expected in a vibrant area and an older house. Overall, we would definitely recommend staying here for a short or long break in Istanbul.
