Communication with Mutlu was quick and friendly.
I could easily move my check in time to an earlier/later point.
Unfortunately I had to move out again same day and canceled my stay because I have a cat allergy and there were two unannounced cats in the house (also accessing the room I was supposed to sleep in while I was there).. That was the main reason for my cancellation.
It said ‘pets allowed’ in the description, but didn’t state these two animals precisely. Very unfortunate.
Small room in basement/ground floor. Small single bed (I would have just fit I guess, I’m quite tall). The kitchen and bathroom are on the same level of the aptm. Price was super cheap so I guess the little amount of comfort (little day light, old building, old curtains) is justified.
Mutlu as a host seemed very nice. If you wanna travel low budget and stay in one of the most beaut locations of Istanbul (Cihangir) - That’s your go to. I’d prefer to invest a little more coins and get a more spacious, cat free environment tbh.
