This is one of the best decisions i have made with choosing an accommodation during my trips.
They will get in touch with you through whatsapp and share all necessary informations to reach to the place (of course they do have private shuttle service) also not expensive.
You will be welcomed by a host outside arrival gate and will be picked up from your shuttle, it took around 45mins to reach with not much traffic (1hr during traffic).
Once you arrive at the given address another staff will welcome you. Taking you to your chosen Airbnb room and also with a tour of facilities (shared kitchen, attached washing-machine in the same area with refrigerator). You can get access to it 24hrs they will explain the rules once you arrive.
They will provide linen if you would like to change the sheets and towels (you don’t have to wash it by yourself). You would only need liquid detergent for your own clothes.
The location is PERFECT, few mins walking distance to Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet mosque), Hagia Sophia, Arasta Bazaar. And many other shopping outlets on the street. Grand bazaar is also in 14mins walking distance. You will find good exchange places around too. KFC, Burger King, Subway is also not far as we like to explore and walk around. We used WAZE app to locate places.
Tips:
- Try to take taxi’s only using meters (sometimes they give you high price as fixed)
- Don’t stop by while working if anyone is coming to sell perfume (they try to sell testers and you might be in trouble later. They will make up very emotional stories, but don’t get yourself trapped)
- we didn’t like food in Turkey much, but they had options - we found ourselves going to KFC,BURGER KING, SUBWAY and places so.
- Double check your flight itinerary (make sure you double, triple check it and make sure you are on track (we almost missed it, but we made it home) 😁
I would like to thank the Team of Social’s Place for everything. They managed to get us out from missing our flight. Very last minute though. THANK YOU. We look forward to comeback..
