I just stayed here as part of a solo trip I was taking through Turkey. First of all, I was allowed to check in early which I really appreciated; I had not been feeling well because I was so tired from the journey after a long week of work and they arranged to let me in early. Mustafa was very kind. Even though he doesn’t speak much English, we were able to understand each other with a little English and a little Italian. He showed me absolutely everything I needed to know about the apartment.
The location is great. It’s right in the center, a short walk away from shops and cafes and restaurants. There’s beautiful street art nearby. It’s a very short cab ride away from the Sultanahmet and near the antique mall. The terrace is a nice space, and I really enjoyed having a home cooked farm fresh breakfast arranged by the host. The space is also decorated great, it’s has a really artistic style which I appreciate as an artist.
I will definitely be back to Istanbul, and I look forward to staying at one of the host’s places again. And honestly — for the price, it’s unbeatable.
