This is probably the best place to stay in Istanbul. The host Sözer is extremely nice, super responsive, he gave us great tips on where to go and what to do, he even showed us around. His apartment is very cozy, sparkling clean, the location could not be better! The neighboring cafe and restaurant owners (just downstairs from the apartment) are also super nice and helpful, and the food there is delish. To make a long story short: five stars for everything. If and when I go to Istanbul again I definitely want to stay at Sözer’s place. My highest recommendations!
