Located in the heart of Sultanahmet, Yusuf’s place is a small, quaint apartment building that is located within a 10 minute walk of some major tourist attractions (including the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Old Bazzar, etc.)
The place included free tea, or coffee whenever you would like, as well as a sauna which we didn’t have time to partake in. It just required a booking in advance since it is shared by the entire building. There was also daily housecleaning that would provide fresh towels and sheets.
It was a really great place to stay with somebody ready to answer questions around the clock. Erol was extremely helpful in helping us book multiple tours, and directing us in how to get specific places by either walking or using Istanbul’s public transit system. Yusuf’s restaurant Mivan which is located across the street is a small and quaint restaurant which also had the same exceptional service as the staff at this air bnb.
Overall, our stay in Istanbul was made better because of the hospitality that we experienced here. If we are ever back in the area, we wouldn’t hesitate to book this Air BnB again.
