5 star hosts! Ezgi was communicative about everything. Flexible with check in and check out. The apartment is very clean and equipped with everything you will need for a short or long stay. The shower has great water pressure and the bathroom is clean and modern. The flat is also very quite at night so no trouble sleeping. The bed is comfy and there is a TV with Netflix and other stations which are accessible. Wifi is reliable and fast. The hosts live right next door in an attached house so are very easy to reach if you need something quickly. The apartment is a 5 min walk to a street with a nice cafe (Pops Balat) perfect for sitting and doing remote work or just enjoying the ambience and food. Another 8 min walk is my favorite Istanbul Cafe (Naftalin K ) which has great bohemian decor and nice owner and wonderful food! The main cafe/tourist area is . I stayed a month in Istanbul in 3 different places. Ezgi’s was my favorite. I also really like Balat. It’s very easy to get to other areas of the city by boat, bus or taxi and there is plenty to see in the area to keep you busy for a day or more. Highly recommended.
