1. About the host: Hakan is incredibly hospitable, polite and helpful host. Always was very quick to respond to my messages and provide support and assistance. Many many thanks for that!!!
2. About the flat: The apartment is very spacious. It has a hall, a bedroom with double bed, a small room with a single bed, a kitchen, a bathroom and two balconies. In the hall, instead of a TV, there is a large screen. If you close the blackout curtains, turn on Netflix, which you can use for free, it feels like you're in in cinema, because there's amazing sound as well! So just make popcorn:) The bedroom has a very comfortable bed. As well as a large wardrobe where you can place all your things, even if you have a lot of them. In the bathroom, you can use the bath, not the shower. This is very rare in Turkey, as mostly everywhere in the apartments use only shower cabins.The only small disadvantage is that the hot water runs out quickly, since old buildings in Turkey always use heaters. But there is always enough for one person, if you do not bask for an hour under the water:) On one of the large balconies, you can enjoy the sound of seagulls, take the sunbathe and drink delicious coffee. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Kettle, coffee maker, all kitchen utensils, toaster, oven, gas stove and dishwasher. The kitchen also has access to a second small balcony. I lived in winter, but the apartment was always quite warm. A small clarification - the apartment is located on the last third floor, but there is no elevator in the building. Although I moved in and out of the apartment with a huge suitcase and ten bags, this was not such a significant disadvantage for me. But perhaps it can be a significant obstacle for the elderly or people with health restrictions.
3. About the location: in my opinion - one of the best neighborhood in Asian side. So close to Marmaray station “Feneryolu”, just 5 min away. Also you can easy get to the most wonderful seafront Caddebostan, you will so much enjoy walking along the sea and watch amazing sunset or may be sunrise. Famous Bağdat street with lots of cafes and shops is just around 10 min away from home. Very close to home also situation cozy and nice park where you can run for example or even have a picnic. Around home you will find a lot of markets, pharmacy, cafes etc. and so easy you can get to European side by Marmaray. It will take you around 20 min to get to the heart of Istanbul.
Don’t have any doubts, just book this great flat and enjoy your time in the most amazing city in the world!
