Loved the place, it is set in a quiet neighbourhood where you have a lot of choices to eat local and very cheap. It is 5 minutes walk to the Fener bus station from where you can take bus 99 or 99A that will leave you at Eminönü station (Galata Bridge). From Galata bridge you can start exploring Istanbul the best: take the tram or walk to Sultanahmet, book a cruise on Bosforus or climb the Galata Tower for a nice view of this amazing city.
If you come by car, there are some parking spots, but the streets are really really narrow. Best to have a GPS to get to the apartment. The hosts were very helpful although Mustafa and Ibrahim didn’t know English. We didn’t meet mr. Uğur but we spoke on the phone and he is very very helpful and knows English very well. The interior of the house is decorated in Turkish style, with nice local touches and very colourful. Although from the photos I pictured the apartment to be a bit bigger, it was enough for 3 people and we felt cozy in it. It was a perfect choice and a great value for money.
