A home away from home with personal touches around the house! An old renovated house with authentic light colored wooden decking like in the old days.
You have to climb up a few stairs to reach the door.
There’s tv and books, a small kitchen with a fridge and stove so you can cook and keep some food fresh in the fridge. Ironing machine and hairdryer are also there. Easily accessible WiFi. I entered to a really clean house that smells nice and fresh.
The location is perfect if you want to stay in a more local and quieter neighborhood away from the tourists yet stay close to Taksim square (800m walking distance). Around 1.3 km away from Havabus station. A bit of walking to Basiktas from where you can take the tram or waterbus (1.5 km with slopes).
There’s a grocery store 2 min away from the house and some nice cafes and small restaurants and bars (both local and international).
Nice small boutique and jewelry stores exist also around the neighborhood.
I was welcome by Koray as Pelin was not available during my visiting days. He is fluent in English and super nice. Communication was easy.
I would definitely choose to stay there again!
