Location was spot on, 10-20 mins walk away from most tourist attractions, Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet Masjid etc. communication is very clear, quick and helpful.
Some of the bed runners needed a wash as there were dried stains on it. Bathroom was very slippery as there’s tiles as the flooring. From the images, we thought we were renting our own apartment but it’s 3 separate rooms with a shared kitchen with others in the building. Kitchen is two floors below. Had more of a hotel feeling to it than an apartment. Maybe if there was a door at the top or bottom of the top floor, it would feel more secure. My booking had hijab wearing women so they couldn’t walk around hijabless with the risk of someone seeing.
Overall, Selim and Muhammed were really lovely and hospitable. They decorated one of the bedrooms with balloons and a cake for us to walk into as it was someone’s birthday. We booked airport transfer with Selim which was quick, easy and efficient. It was very easy to trust Selim and Muhammed. Thank you for your hospitality, understanding and lovely stay. If we’re in Istanbul again, we would defo use one of Selim’s other places.
