The hosting couple raised the bar so high - I’m not sure we will find a better place in Turkey. The hosts are beyond kind, friendly, accommodating and overall wonderful human beings. I think we just met lifelong friends! They were so helpful in getting us the things we needed like a laundry drying rack and an office chair. The view is to die for, amazing and breathtaking. The apartment is bright, clean, cozy and modern. IKEA lovers - this is the place to stay for you! The apartment offers high-speed internet which was extremely important to us. If you’re looking to buy groceries - go uphill, not down. We also used Getir app for groceries and restaurant delivery. The area is not touristic but rather a traditional Turkish neighborhood. If you’d like to see the real Istanbul with its authentic people and shops - come and stay here. Location appears remote when checking the map but public transportation is within reach, and taxi fare to Grand Bazar, for example, is under $10. We are very happy with our stay - great value and unparalleled hospitality.
