We really loved our week in this apartment! It is located in an authentic, non-touristy, safe neighborhood with many local shops, restaurants, and winding streets to explore. The Fener bus stop is a 5 minute walk and easily connects you to other areas of the city. The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay and then some.

The best part of our stay here was Isil, the owner. We stay in a lot of Airbnb places and we have never had a host take such an interest in making sure we have a good stay. Isil's communication in advance of our stay was excellent and she provided good detail on how to reach the apartment.

Once we arrived she went to dinner with us and helped us plan out what to do each day. She took us to purchase a transportation pass and walked us to the bus stop so we knew right where it was. Then she walked us around more of the neighborhood showing us her favorite shops and cafes-- and also helped us buy groceries. She was available to answer any questions afterwards as well and quickly replied when we reached out to her.

We highly recommend staying at one of Isil's apartments for your stay in Istanbul!
