We LOVED Rose & Mustafa’s place - it was within walking distance of taksim (like 10-15 min, but hilly) and it felt very safe. So grateful that they arranged us rides to and from the airport, and checked in on us to make sure everything was alright. They met us at the door to help us with check-in (for which we were so grateful). Their place has shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, even water (in the fridge!!) which they so kindly provided. Their place also had WIFI, which was truly a lifesaver in the Turkish heat. Book this gem, you will not regret it.
