Everything was perfect and smooth!
Huseyin is a great host, very responsive, and responsible. And he speaks good English which was extremely helpful since 99% of people in Turkey do NOT speak English!
The house was very clean and well maintained in a cute vintage building.
The heating and hot water were perfect and very comforting since I visited during the winters.
The apartment is in a prime location (Fatih) where everything is nearby like;
✅ restaurants,
✅ grocery stores,
✅ fresh juice stalls
✅ money exchanges
✅ KFC/McDonald's (5 mins walk)
✅ tourist sim spots (Vodafone and Turkcell)
✅ Covid PCR test facility (4 mins walk)
✅ metro station (Marmaray | 5 mins walk),
✅ tram (Aksaray | 5 mins walk),
✅ bus station (2 mins walk),
✅ boat (IDO | Inter-city),
✅ etc
In conclusion, if you are with family then this is the best place to stay as it is close to most of the tourist locations like Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Taksim square, Istiklal street, etc.
And top of that the metro is very affordable since most of the places are nearby to this location (Fatih).
Huseyin even helped us in booking our airport taxi since the taxi company representatives did not speak English.
Highly recommended place, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
CON:
If you are a plus-size person then the bathrooms can be a little uncomfortable since the size was pretty small. Other than that everything was just amazing and I can't ask for more!
Thanks,
