We absolutely LOVED our stay in this apartment.

The host, Aylin, was really lovely – she met us when we arrived and booked us a taxi from and to the airport which made travelling really easy. She was very quick at getting back to us whenever we texted/e-mailed her, and speaks PERFECT English.

The location was perfect; just a few minutes’ walk from the lovely Galata tower area and surrounded by shops, cafes and restaurants – this is really the area you want to be in when visiting Istanbul!

If you don’t mind walking a bit, getting to all of the attractions in the Old Town is really easy from the flat and the walk down towards Galata bridge is filled with really nice boutiques and cafes. If you prefer to take public transport, the flat is just a few minutes away from Sishane metro station.

The apartment and its building are both beautiful, newly refurbished and very clean. Having stayed a week, having a fully equipped kitchen, as well as washing machine (along with washing powder and fabric conditioner) and iron/ironing board was very handy too!
In the flat you’ll also find lists with suggestions in regards to attractions and restaurants in the area which is convenient, particularly if you’ve never been to Istanbul before.

Myself and my partner both agree that we will definitely stay with Aylin on our next visit, and we will recommend this flat to anyone who’s planning on visiting this wonderful city!
