This place has so much going for it! The apartment itself is modern, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood is so cool, it’s very up and coming so you get a taste of the old and new from the fruit carts coming up and down the street, to the hip new coffee shops on every corner. It would be possible to spend your entire time in Istanbul just discovering this neighborhood. Every turn of a street reveals treasures like photogenic backdrops, antique shops, coffee shops old and new, and great restaurants. Make sure you take time to explore this neighborhood! Bus stop to get to the crazier parts of Istanbul is only a 10 minute walk away. So this location was convenient for our sightseeing but also cozy, for when we wanted to stay in the neighborhood. This apartment’s best feature though is Mehmet. He was so helpful and patient with us, spending time to tell us about the neighborhood, Istanbul, and sharing great stories. He made everything easy, from check in to check out and was a great communicator. We feel we made a friend in him and can’t wait to return to Istanbul. We’d stay here all over again!
