We greatly enjoyed our stay at Ceylan’s AirBnb property in the Sultanahmet district. The apartment was spotless, airy, well-lit, and with cute décor touches. The bathroom was very clean and recently renovated with a spacious shower and upgraded European style fixtures. A small kitchenette had all the basic utensils and amenities for light meal prep. Ceylan arranged to meet us at the property, and when we were delayed arriving, called and made sure we had all the relevant information for accessing wifi and the utilities before arriving.
She also warned us that street parking is tricky since this is the old part of town, but Ceylan had saved us a parking spot directly in front of the apartment and had provided us with nearby parking garages as alternatives. Be aware that streets in the area are narrow and the one leading to this AirBnb allows cars in only one direction at a time.
Ceylan and her family went above and beyond in making sure our stay was smooth and easy. We had an incident during our stay in Istanbul that necessitated us going to the ER at 11 pm at night, and Ceylan drove over and stayed at the hospital with us most of the night, translating for us with the doctors and arranging things so that we had everything we needed. The property managers, Eleni and Ahmet and their daughters, live above the property and were incredibly helpful, bringing us food, parking our car, checking in on us upon our return from the hospital, and arranging transportation to and from the hospital and then to the airport when it was time for us to leave.
Ceylan was amazing and we highly recommend a stay here at this beautiful property!
