Overall we had a good 5 night stay at Nuri’s place. Nuri was a fantastic host. We were late getting in from our flight and he waited up till 2 am to welcome us to the apartment. The location is perfect if you plan on exploring Beyoglu, Taksim, and across the bridge to see the mosques. Very close to the tram system and you can pretty much walk to all the good restaurants in the area.
A few things to note about Nuri’s place. The apartment is on the third floor and the stair case is steep. This wasn’t a problem for us but for some it might be. Wifi was not great. Lastly, the bathroom had a strong odour of sewage which meant the door had to be shut and window open.
Regardless, we enjoyed exploring everything Istanbul has to offer and we’re able to overlook the apartments quirks.
Thank you Nuri!
