This flat is absolutely amazing! It’s very comfortable and has everything one can need even for a longer stay.
The building along with the wonderful cafe “Rappel” belongs to Sina’a amazing family, each of the member of which are very warm, kind and just wonderful people who go above and beyond to help you. For example, his father chased a cab down the street for my sister after a few cars cancelled on us, and the time became tight to get to the airport. He even lent us cash to make sure she will be able to pay fair price. Bottom line: they go above and beyond, and it’s very nice to run into them on daily basis at the cafe.
The breakfasts at Rappel are delicious, the staff is very friendly, and the music and vibe are excellent. Note: the breakfast is NOT included even if it sounded from the ad like it was.
The neighbourhood is vibrant, full of cool places and interesting crowd of young creatives and professionals. It’s close to everywhere.
I had the best time, and quite frankly this is the best stay in Istanbul I’ve had so far. I plan to come back.
