I am gonna start by saying "Thank you Ipek for letting me stay at your place, thanks for helping me around, you made it feel like a home and you are a great host".
My experience at this place was great.Overall the place was good for value, it was clean, location was close to taksim square and Ipek is a great host.
Apartment:
Place is really clean , you get one private bed room with shared living room, washroom, kitchen and laundry. Apartment is on 5th floor , so be prepared to walk upstairs :)
Price:
Room was really a bang for the price , I mean you get a private room including multiple amenities for such a great price.
Location:
Best thing about the location is that there is a bus stop within 2 min walk that can pretty much take you anywhere in town. It goes to taksim, multiple sea ports, sultanahemt area and more.
Host:
Ipek is a super host, she was in touch with me even before my arrival. Although she was at work the day I landed, she kept guiding me and had arranged her friend to welcome me. Her friend was also very helpful and kind, Ipek gave me tips around town, great places to visit and food to try.
Conclusion:
I would recommend
Ipek's place for any one visiting Istanbul. For sure I will stay again if I ever visit Istanbul.
