Regarding Location. The location was amazing. The apartment is located approximately 5 minutes from the Istakal street (the main street in Istanbul, lot's of restaurants, pubs, clubs, store's etc.). There is a 20 minute walk to the historic part of Istanbul. Street where the apartment is was very quiet despite the proximity of the Istakal street. All in all excellent location.
Regarding Check-In. We got to the apartment around 2am. Berk's friend was waiting for us. We had a warm welcome. He showed us an apartment. Have in mind that there is a house rule for late check-in, 50 euros but I think it was not much especially because they had to wait for us till the early hours.
Regarding Apartment. It is very spacious. 2 floors. Kitchen, one toilet, living room and the private garden entrance are located at the first floor and 2 rooms, bathroom with the toilet and shower on the second floor. Apartment was very clean. Berk even left us complementary stuff. Bottle of wine, Coca Cola, Ice Tea, water, mineral water, gummy bears, coffee, tea etc. All in all, perfect!
Regarding Host. Berk was great. Quickly responses. Speaks very good English unlike other locals. I would definitely recommend him to everyone and I'll hopefully return to the Istanbul in the future!
Živjeli!
