Honest review with pros and cons from a family with two kids .
To begin with Egemen is amazing with communication. Anything you want to know about Istanbul he has answers. Very helpful and always responsive. He suggests the best streets and restaurant joints!
So here are the pros and cons
Pros- two bed room apartment.
The day we arrived the taxi guy dropped as Atleast 1 km away from the house saying taxis won’t get to his house. We called Egemen and he had come to help us with the luggages as we had two kids with us.
Amazing for couples as there are many pubs and cafés nearby. It’s located near to the galata port. All the equipment’s are found in the house. You name it and he have it in the house. Great security. Great apartment to stay if you are a COUPLE.
Cons-
The house is on a hill top so if you are travelling with kids it’s impossible to climb up with baby stroller. Very difficult to get taxis which will end up making you either walk down the hill and make you pay the double to taxis to take you back to the house. So I wouldn’t recommend it as a family friendly stay but definitely couple friendly. We wasted a-lot of timing trying to get a taxi each time we wanted to step out.
There is Ac only in the living room and the bed rooms have floor fans. Also on the day of check out Mr. Egemen comes to check the house. So notice all the things in the house before you check in so that you won’t be blamed for any fault.
Overall I would say it’s a nice play to stay if you are travelling as a couple and loves to walk a-lot. 😉
