Such a great experience! The appartment is clean, nicely decorated (+towels provided which is realllly great!) the building also and the view from the rooftop is so nice we really appreciated the place. The appartment is located in the Balat/Fener neighborhood which is a great location because you easily get to the historical part of Istanbul. There's a cool cafe in front of the closest bus station that has a big terasse and is open everyday almost all day so you can come to relax whenever on your way to go visit or on the way back! We felt safe in the neighborhood, the people are friendly, there are little shops open quite late. The only thing you should know is that the streets are not very clean, some buildings are very old... People looking for a typical experience won't mind but for some that are looking for something neat might be disappointed. Giuseppe, Ugur and Mustafa are the best! They give you all the tips you need to have a great stay and not worry about accommodation. We received a mail with all practical information which guided us for when we arrived. We felt both welcomed and safe, we knew we could call them if we had a problem. Such nice hosts I really recommend :)
