Yilmaz was THE BEST host I could have asked for. I stayed for 5 weeks. The apartment was pristine - beautiful, quiet and in such a nice area. The locals are so friendly, there’s a grocery store 2 steps away and a beautiful, quaint little restaurant all within the same block. It’s about an 8 minute walk to Sultan Ahmet & Hagia Sophia, and very central to the beautiful Old City of Istanbul. Walking distance to Grand Bazaar as well. Favorite place in the area was Topkapi Palace & Basilica Cistern.
The home was absolutely stunning, especially the mural. Everything was so clean, with a laundry machine for your use which was so helpful, and the TV has all major streaming services. Wifi was immaculate and super fast which was phenomenal as I was working remotely throughout my stay.
The hosts were always checking in, super communicative, very kind and sent me all the great places in the area, which was so helpful. I’ll definitely be staying here again once I’m back in Istanbul. 20/10 ☺️
