Akif’s place is by far the best place you can ever stay for an affordable price in Istanbul.
The location is great, super close to the transport links while also being located at the heart of Istanbul. The street the flat is on reflects the history of Istanbul and when you walk into the flat, you can almost smell the history through the rustic decor. Akif himself is the best host possible, a person that goes out of his way to accommodate your needs ensure you are confortable. I strongly recommend all to check out the massive rooftop terrace of the building. It has one of the best views you can get in Istanbul, pretty much the same view as galata tower with the added benefit of seeing the galata tower itself from the terrace. All in all, Akif’s place is the place to stay if you are looking for the homely feeling, convenience and comfort during your stay in Istanbul!!
