An amazing apartment and a wonderful host.
We really enjoyed our stay in Ugur's apartment. It was clean, safe, comfortable and in a top location with amazing views.
Ugur's apartment is just a short still away from the tram stop, which takes you directly into the middle of the tourist area, the Blue Mosque etc. and also close enough to walk to the Metro, to explore further afield.
The area where the apartment is, is very safe and calm, with lots of local cafes, supermarkets and restaurants around. The perfect location - great for tourism and also for enjoying a lovely local area. Also, it's a short-walk away from Taksim, with it's nice shops and restaurants.
Check-in was super-easy and Ugur was the perfect host - very kind and always there to answer questions, provide tips and help. Ugur even arranged our taxi back to the airport, which was really useful, as we had a very early flight out.
We found the beds to be very comfortable - they are brand new and offer plenty of support for your back, but with a decent soft top to remain comfy. The AC works really well, there is a kitchen with everything we needed and a very nice dining table, which we enjoyed using in the evenings.
If I find myself in Istanbul again, I will definitely choose this apartment. 100% recommended. Thanks for a great stay, Ugur!
