Hasan’s place is in the heart of things - a brisk 7 minutes to Taksim Square metro (leisurely 12 minutes) that will connect you to nearly anywhere in the city. It’s also very close to Istiklal Street for shopping and it’s in a neighbourhood with many restaurants. There’s a Carrefour for food/drinks 60 metres away.
His apartment is beautifully decorated - we loved the art on the walls and the fridge magnets from all over the world are an inspiration to any traveller. And the bed really is super comfortable! Even in winter the apartment was light thanks to all the windows.
Hasan was an amazing host, who reponded quickly to enquiries and assisted with tips. His place comes highly recommended.
