awesome experience in Istanbul. Thank you to Mr Barbaros and his team making it wonderful gateaway. one day before we got to Istanbul, he already asked when do we land. Told us to give his number to the taxi driver and talked to the taxi driver on how to get to his place. We were greeted by him at the house. we were on the first floor. the 2 rooms were great. everything was cozy and comfortable. WiFi is great. You can cook, wash your clothes. We stayed for 5 nights, and each day someone will come asking how's everything and emptying the trash bin inside the house.
You're 15-20 minutes walk to the blue mosque and haiga Sophia and 30 mins from ataturk airport by car/taxi.
Taxi is easily available around the neighbourhood incase you are lazy to walk around the sultanahmet area.
There are few food shops/stalls and grocery store around the house
If you're on the first floor, you can hear the sound of footsteps from the second floor.
Overall It's a great hospitality by Mr Barbaros and his team. A big thank you!
