Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! If you are coming to Istanbul and looking for somewhere that is budget friendly, safe, clean, and convenient this is the place for you. I stayed in one of the studio apartments that face the main road and can I just say, I miss it already 😭!!! I made the mistake of not booking longer. Burhan (Emre) and Ismail are amazing! They organized my ride from the airport right to the front of the apartment as well as Burhan helping me take my 3 suitcases from the Airbnb to my new hotel after my 5 day stay! All while showing me some cool spots to check out!!
Some warnings, the apartment is up a large steep hill! To get to taksim square and istikal you have to go up this hill, so if you are not ready for exercise this is not the place for you, HA! Also there is no elevator, which I did not mind because I prefer stairs.
Here are some of the good things that I found to be important. The apartment has a smart tv with Netflix, great working air condition, super hot water, desk & makeup mirror, full body mirror for checking your outfit and a washer & dryer. Along with a kitchenette for cooking, there is a grocery store and hair salon down stairs as well as a super market around the corner.
Right across the street is a nice hookah lounge that serves amazing breakfast and dinner. They are open very late (3:00 maybe later) for us Jet lag victims! The staff is super friendly there and will want to talk especially if you are an English speaker. When I come back to Turkey this is going to be my place ❤️ Thank you guys for everything.
