The apartment was wonderful: spacious, light-filled, and situated in one of Istanbul's most exciting neighborhoods. My friend and I greatly enjoyed. I paid for an additional night to accommodate a very early morning arrival and was met by a colleague of the owners. As others have noted, some communication challenges occurred along the way, but all ended well and the stay was outstanding. Highly recommend. Note that the neighborhood and apartment -- on an upper floor -- would be challenging for folks with mobility issues.
