The apartment is cozy and has its own small courtyard, where it is nice to have a cup of coffee in the morning. The apartment is clean and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped with the necessary appliances and devises. Ms. Meltem is a very polite and pleasant woman. We arrived from the airport in the morning and were accommodated without any problems. The landlady and her husband prepared breakfast for us, that was very kind of them. The apartment is located in a quiet hilly area with fairly convenient transport logistics. If you want to enjoy the real Istanbul and its atmosphere, you definitely need to stay in this area, away from the central streets filled with noisy tourists.
