We had a great stay at Avsar’s place. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I just want to mention that the terrace is common and on the roof and not inside the house. Also beware there are lots of stairs to climb in order to reach the house from taksim as it is located on a slope. But it makes the view very beautiful as you can see the sea on your way down. There was a store right next to the house that made our stay much more convenient as we could buy a cold beer whenever we craved one or eggs to make a quick breakfast. The check-in was very smooth as the person who welcomed us was reachable from the time our plane landed until we got to the apartment. And also during our stay.
The neighborhood was calm so we could relax at night when we get back to the apartment after spending the day in the busy places of Istanbul. I recommend Avsar’s place!
