Tolga’s flat was the perfect place for two people to spend a week in Istanbul. Cosy, clean and warm, the flat was excellently located with a number of the cities best restaurants, hamams, coffee shops and stores within a minutes walk (examples include Kronotrop Coffee, Mehayne and Ozkonak.) The flat itself was well equipped with excellent wifi, a washing machine, a kettle, crockery, plenty of towels/shower products and a comfortable bed. Tram and subway links were very close, and taxis were in abundance making access to the older part of the city swift and easy. Make no mistake this is the place to stay for ultimate convenience- from supermarkets and ATM’s to hip bars, stunning antique shops and beautiful views.
Tolga himself was the best Airbnb host we’ve ever had - thoughtful, helpful and so generous. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and turkish desserts, as well as a hearty supply of snacks and tea. He also made himself readily available to us on Whatsapp for any questions we had about the city, its customs and things to do/places to go. If we return to Istanbul we’d be delighted to stay here again. Thanks Tolga!
