brilliant place 👏 the location could not be better. it's like 50meters from Şişhane Station, but is also on a quiet street. there is a small shop opposite the road which has pretty much anything you need. and obviously loads of choice if you go up on Istiklal.
the team working there was very welcoming and accommodated all my needs and really went out of their way to make sure I had a great time.
The flat is in a very safe building with locks downstairs and on the flat.
The apartment itself can use a paint job and some maintenance but nothing major. I've noticed most places(in Turkey and across Europe and the UK) where I've stayed the last 2 years do, quite understandably given how hard the sector was hit by Covid. I found everything I needed there with pots,pans,plates,cutlery and the washing machines in the shared laundry room(never had to wait for a machine, there are 2 and it's plenty for the building)
overall, I would definitely recommend, especially for solo travellers and for people who aren't very familiar with Istanbul. These guys will definitely look after you 👍😊
