To start, make sure you have an open communication line with Barbaros because the google maps address doesn’t directly correspond with his location and it took our driver a long time to find.
Now to the property itself:
Pros: very centrally located but in a more local residential area which is NOT packed with tourists. Easy to walk everywhere, lots of good local food shops and options around. The room itself is small but good for 2 people. The bathroom was spacious and always had hot water. We had towels and soap provided to us. The only thing I was not a fan of was the smell in the room, so if you have a very sensitive nose like me you’ll probably notice it (because the room is hard to ventilate is smells stale).
Barbaros himself was very helpful and waited for us on arrival. He gave us a big map and took about 20 minutes explaining to us where everything is located. He offered us an Istanbul card for 15 lira even though we could only find them for 20 when buying from kiosks in the city.
Overall I highly recommend this property if lack of windows doesn’t bother you and if you’re not very sensitive to smells.
