Zeynep has a beautiful flat in one of the best areas in this metropolis, it actually feels quiant and very warm! Not easy to do in a city of 18mil people. On arrival we were on very little sleep but we were able to sleep into early evening without issue. Bed/pillows were very comfortable and place felt spacious. Ugur who greeted us was very kind and thoughtful. Can’t beat location! You have Galata tower towering above and cafe’s everywhere. Although your very close to the pub crawl it is very quiet in her place! You are a 4-5 minute walk from some of the best shopping in the world - Istiklal St. - and endless choices of food and snacks. Overall we feel we made an excellent choice and would definitely stay in Zeynep’s flat again when in Istanbul!
