For 11 days, Betal’s place became our home. This being our first trip to Istanbul, I am so happy we stayed where we did. The location of Betal’s apartment was perfect. Shopping, restaurants, cafes… everything you could possibly want/need is within walking distance. I highly recommend Sa Va bakery down the street. The apartment itself is amazing. Cozy, clean, well decorated, and very homey. I loved waking up to the sun peaking through the windows every morning. If you are searching for a place to stay in Istanbul, this is it. Betal’s place exceeded our expectations.
