My family and I loved our stay at Naci’s place. It was exactly like in the pictures - very homey and comfortable for a big family. The location is just perfect - walking distance everywhere. Yes, it is on a steep hill, but so is everything in Istanbul. And walking up that hill wasn’t that bad, even my 75 year old grandmother did it a couple of times.
The check in process was quick and easy and Naci was very flexible and accommodating when our flight got delayed by over 2 hours and we ended up arriving late.
The view from the rooftop is just fantastic. The apartment is on the 5th floor, but there is an elevator, which is very convenient and quite rare in the old buildings. The police station is right next door, so the area is very safe. The place is also surrounded by many cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets- all within 2 min walk, no need to climb the hills.
