The Princes Islands
Review by Rowan from Canterbury
The location of the house is excellent - very close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi palace, as well as the bazaars, tram and shops.
The view from the terrace is beatiful - the sea in one direction and the mosques in the other.
The living room is a wonderful area to relax in - we listened to music, played the games supplied and watched the view.
The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, plates etc., but there did not appear to be running hot water or a plug for the sink. (To be fair - we did not report this to the owner. He was very quick to have a leak in one bathroom repaired.) Not all the bathroom sinks had plugs either.
The bedrooms were comfortable, but not all had either drawers or hanging space, so we were obliged to live out of our suitcases.
The whole apartment was very clean, with plenty of towels and good bed linen.
The family/caretakers who live in the basement were available to prepare meals if required, but our party was self-catering.
There were 8 of us, which was the perfect number for the seating available. We all had proper beds (2 shared a double). The lift was useful for moving our luggage.
Overall, a wonderful location, house and holiday!
