A lovely spacious flat in a fantastic neighbourhood. And great value.
Shahrzad really was a super host. When we arrived at 2am in lashing rain and couldn't find the keys, she was on the phone to help. When we asked for extra bed linen, she was round in ten minutes. She kept in touch to make sure we were happy. We felt very well looked after.
The area around Kurtulus feels like a microcosm of Istanbul. There are loads of shops nearby, and plenty of great places to eat and drink. People are very friendly. Close to Taksim and well-located for visiting other neighbourhoods.
Highly recommended.
