This apartment is absolutely amazing. It’s the center point for all the good stuff. Hagia Sofia and The Blue Mosque is only a block away, there are terrace restaurants everywhere and there’s even one right next to the apartment, the Tram/Metro is easy access to pretty much everywhere in Istanbul and is only about 2-3 blocks away. My mom and I were able to walk to the Egyptian bazaar no problem and all the way back using the coastal path/sidewalk.
The apartment itself was also amazing. There are two balconies and you can prop both of the doors open to experience the ocean breeze. There were also no mosquitos. The bed is extremely comfortable. From one balcony, you get a view of the ocean and from the other you can see the minarets of Hagia Sofia. Everything was very clean and put together. The pink hand soap smells great.
Batuhan is very kind and he told me, “as long as you guys are happy, I’m happy.” He also helped us with directions on how to get to the apartment from the Istanbul airport. I was struggling to lock the door and he helped with that too. He’s a great guy and we felt very safe with him!
