This is a beautifully renovated old house in a real Istanbul neighbourhood, with lots of charm. Staying side by side with local families gives you a real feel for what it’s like to live here - I especially enjoyed looking out of the window and listening to the sounds of the street. The bed is comfortable, Bath is AMAZING, and apartment is spacious and well-designed with everything you need. The roof terrace is a massive bonus, with great views over Istanbul and 2-3 lovely seating areas. Mustafa doesn’t speak much English but we managed. He’s very friendly and willing to help - he let me store my bags all day at the apartment and even gave me a spare key. Make sure you clarify your check-in time as I was told I could check-in when I arrived at 9:30 but the apartment wasn’t ready until 11:00. Waiting on the terrace was fine but it would’ve been good to know in advance.
