We stayed at Asta’s place on our first trip to Istanbul and to Turkey.
Asta and Cetin’s place is minutes away from Istiklal Street, the center of hustle & bustle in Beyoğlu! Very conveniently located between 2 metro stations and a 20 min walk to Galata. The apartment is a nice cozy place and has everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Very clean and well maintained!
The best part was the responsiveness & helpfulness of the hosts! They were very kind to help us with local Istanbul tips. They also responded very promptly to all of our requests over text including requests for an umbrella and an extra blanket. They were extremely helpful in storing our luggage after checkout, giving us more time to explore this amazing city.
The only downside and something the hosts are awfully clear about when you book is the noise from street and nearby nightclubs. So if you are a light sleeper, watch out!
Highly recommend! They made our first Istanbul trip even more memorable 🇹🇷.
