This house check all marks. It’s location is amazing, you can reach all tourist places very easily by public transport (tramway), which is 2 min walking from the house.
You can find everything next to you (market,pharmacy,butcher, cafes, restaurants)
The cleanliness of this house is outstanding, you rarely find clean homes in Istanbul, but this house was super clean and smelled great.
Ms. Esma is an amazing host as well, she leaves water and quick snacks and some treats in the apartment, so you don’t have to worry about anything if you arrive late.
Most Istanbul hosts are very stingy, you usually find the worst quality stuff in rental apartments, from beds to pillows to towels to kitchenware and TV, but this house had everything high quality and in super good condition.
By far, the best at apartment I’ve stayed in Istanbul. Highly recommend.
