There are lots of places to stay in Istanbul, but this place was a total win for us. It may be a bit pricier then alternatives, but you get what you pay for. From the photos you can see the place is beautiful. From the reviews you can see there are some stairs to climb. But the intangibles that make Pinar's place special, are the location (steps from everything Beygolu has to offer) and her amazing hospitality. Even though the holidays closed much of the city, Pinar was always very responsive with local advice or questions about the apartment. I would definitely stay here again.
