Chenny and Metin are very hospitable hosts. The apartment is great, clean, warm and comfortable. And everything is new inside.
Chenny was quickly responding to all of my questions. One day I had a problem with a key (I forgot it inside and accidentaly closed the door), and Chenny helped me to fix the problem very fast. Overall, I highly recommend this place.
Regarding the area, it is located very close to Taksim and Istiklyal street, there are two supermarkets and a number of caffees nearby. This area of Istanbul seemed to me as energetic and a bit hectic. But this is the vibe of Beyoglu. If you are exploring Istanbul for the first time, this will be definitely a great place to stay.
