We loved Ege’s place!! It was so clean and modern. It looks even better in person than in the pictures (which is a first). I appreciated that the apartment is in a new building (this is important in Istanbul because of the high earthquake risk). The home is in a quieter, family friendly neighborhood. It’s not at all touristy but that was perfect for us since we were visiting our relatives in Göztepe. It has lots of nice restaurants (Nakkaş) and shopping nearby. It’s just a short taxi or bus ride to more trendy/touristy neighborhoods like Moda or Bağdat cd. We will definitely keep this place saved for future trips. Highly recommend.
