Lejligheden var fin ,betjeningen ok, beliggenheden i top. Dog haltede det lidt m rengøring og vedligehold. Man skal kunne lide katte for at bo i stuelejligheden, da der er en flok katte der holder til omkring huset og som helt klart er vant til at komme indenfor i lejligheden.

Traumhaftes Apartment mit grandiosem Ausblick

Ich verbrachte im April 2017 einige Tage in Istanbul und entschied mich nach langem Suchen für die "Balkon Residence", Alles klappte perfekt: Kommunikation vorab, Check-in,... Lage ist schlichtweg perfekt und der Ausblick ist umwerfend.... Ich habe wirklich schon viele Apartments in Istanbul erlebt, aber dieses ist in jeder Hinsicht einfach das BESTE! Ich komme definitiv wieder !!!!
