Y’all this little place is such a gem! I just stayed here for 2 months and felt comfortable the whole time!
The locations is amazing! (While a little trek up or down hill.) it’s right in the center of everything north, south, east and west of you. Ismail a great host!
He’s designed his spaces with technology (lots of places to plug in all the things) style, (he’s elevated this space into a modern retreat), comfort (the bed AND bedding were SO comfortable! Istanbul is chalked full of restaurants and cafes, so the kitchenette had just what i needed for the few meals i cooked there, and safety (you’ve got a key pad to enter the main door, and then a key to enter the door on your level and a third to enter the apartment. Im a single gal in a foreign place NEVER felt unsafe!
And BONUS: Ismail co-owns the little market next to his building, which makes for quick/convenient grocery shopping for all the little things you’ll need for your stay!
If you are in Istanbul and this one is available, sweep it up before it’s gone!
