Spacious and equipped apartment, convenient location and caring host!
Apartment was easy to find. We arrived to Taksim with the Havis bus and decided to walk to the building to explore the surrounding, that was a 15 minute walk from the bus stop. Sayeste was waiting for us at the apartment. She greeted us with a warm welcome and helped to settle in with a brief tour of the apartment and available stores in the neighbourhood.
Apartment had everything we needed from dishwasher and laundry, TV with a ton of movie channels, sound system and to all kitchen stuff we could possibly use. We loved the decoration and the high ceiling that made the space feel even larger.
The neighbourhood felt very local and has a 24 hour market right around the corner, couple of bakeries steps away. The rooftop view was a bonus with a panoramic view of the old city.
We searched quiet a long time for our ideal Airbnb and location was among most important factors. Once arrived, we realized Istiklal street is closer than it seemed on the map and it took less than 10 minutes for walking through the Pera neighbourhood and getting to the middle of busy Istiklal street.
All in all, this was a great stay and one of a kind caring host. Highly recommended!
Thank you Sayeste for providing us with this amazing experience of Istanbul. We hope to come back again soon.
