Little studio located 10min walk from the Istiklal street, many cafés nearby. Although we came at a late hour, check in was very easy, Furkan gave us all the right instructions before, which was very helpful. The studio looks just like the pictures.
The kitchenette has what you need in general but no sink, which at first we thought was okay, but the sink in the bathroom wasn’t very practical, still manageable. The plumbing was a bit faulty.
Now for me the issue was the cleanliness, the studio is not the cleanest, i could smell that the bedding wasn’t fresh, and woke up with glitters on our faces.. we changed the sheets with our own (luckily). There was a lot of dust under the bed.
We asked Furkan if we could leave our luggage a little longer, since our flight was at midnight and we checked in at 1am, he said he needed time to “clean in case” someone came after us, and said we could pay his friend 5$ per suitcase(!) to keep our suitcases in his hotel.. which i did not appreciate.
