Our stay at Okan’s place was beyond incredible. From the transport he arranged for us from the airport from our early morning flight, to letting us check in early, we already knew our stay would be great. The apartment itself is extremely spacious (the pictures don’t do it justice,) and the bedrooms are comfortable and cozy. We appreciated the turkish lamp fixtures above each bed! We also enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen (though basic cooking ingredients such as seasoning, etc. had to be bought). The location of the apartment could not have been better- we walked pretty much everywhere to all the main sights, plus even to the taxsim/galata side is doable. Okan’s apartment made our time in Istanbul wonderful!
However, the best part of the stay at Okan’s was Okan himself. He is a thoughtful, accommodating, generous host! We had an issue upon arriving with a leaky faucet that got worse, and upon letting him know, he sent service to fix it the same day! We returned home that night to be met by a brand new faucet. Thank you Okan for your great hospitality!
I would recommend this apartment to any group of friends or family looking for a comfortable, “at home” place to stay in Istanbul. We are so glad we stayed at Okan’s place and felt more comfortable and happy than any hotel could have offered :)
