I had an amazing time in Istanbul while staying at this apartment. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I very much enjoyed the old city neighborhood which was just outside the tourist area, but within easy walking distance of many sights. It was nice to take an evening stroll in an active neighborhood without being constantly hassled. I even decided to extend my three week trip to four weeks.

Barbaros and Ali were wonderful hosts. Ali was great and provided a quick tour of the area upon my arrival. They made sure I had everything I needed and that my stay was comfortable. I greatly enjoyed drinking tea and talking with them and everyone outside the art gallery and restaurant. Everyone was exceptionally warm and hospitable - it was like having a family away from home. Thank you, Barbaros and Ali!
