I spent 8 nights in this accommodation and I loved every minute of it. It was my first time visiting Istanbul and I couldn't have made a better choice.
Initially I was thinking of getting a place close to Sultanahmet area but I couldn't find one with a nice view which didn't cost a fortune. So I came across Kaan's accommodation and fell in love with the view and the flat (the pictures are fully accurate).
The place is close to the famous Taksim area and you can find around everything you need (stores to buy food, places to eat, bus stations, ferry to cross to the Asian side, parks if you want to sit on the grass and read). Dolmabahçe Palace is only a few minutes away and it's a place worth visiting, it was my favourite touristic place in Istanbul. If you don't mind walking, you can go to the historical area even by foot (I walked everywhere during these 8 days and seen all main touristic places).
The flat makes you feel like home, equipped with everything you need and sparkling clean. You feel joy coming back home at the end of the day. My favourite memories from Istanbul are the mornings spent in the flat. You have a full view of the Bosphorus and the privilege to see the sun rising every morning and look at the boats and ships crossing. Every day I was grateful for the choice I'd made and I can't wait to go back!
Kaan, Nalan and Metin were very responsive to my messages, willing to help and checking to see if everything was ok and if I needed anything. When I arrived I found cold water and a few snacks in the fridge which were just perfect after a long journey.
As a solo traveler I found the flat very therapeutic (seeing the sunrise every morning, reading on the terrace, watching the ships and boats crossing, looking at the Bosphorus Bridge and Maiden's Tower, seeing the moon reflecting in the water at night) and I am very grateful for making my holiday such a memorable experience.
