My husband and I stayed at heart of glass house for a month.
The communication prior to the booking with both Kadir and Alper was easy and quick.
These guys go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable!
They have set the bar for us on what any other future hosts should be like.
The area the unit is in, is close to public transport and the vibrant Nisantasi neighborhood is a 10 minutes walk away.
It’s in the back of the building, away from the busy main road, so relatively quiet.
The flat is on the 4th floor and there is no lift. Which is something we had to get used to. I had to catch my breath every time we made it to our front door😅
The bedroom wall is adjacent to the stairwell of the flat. And since it’s an old building, the walls are quite thin. So, while in bed, you do hear people going up and down the stairs, especially those in heels were a pet peeve. Plus the doors on the apartments are quite large and heavy. So every time a neighbor would shut their front door, it echoed throughout.
So, if you are a light sleeper this may not be for you.
We were working remotely while in Istanbul and Kadir made sure, both my husband and I had an extra monitor to keep working as if we were back home or in the office!
If we have to name 1 thing that can be changed, it would be, like another renter also pointed out, the bed linens.
Cotton bed linens would feel more comfortable.
Nonetheless we highly recommend this unit and it’s amazing hosts!
