Mia’s place was perfect for our first time in Istanbul! We were within walking distance of some fun neighborhoods/ tourist sites as well as a bus stop. The property manager on site was very helpful and Mia was quick to respond any time we had a question or concern. The apartment felt very safe, although we had several locals warn us that Tarlabaşı is a “bad” neighborhood (so it may not be the best location for a solo female traveler). That being said we didn’t have any problems, and our stay left us with a wonderful impression of Türkiye.
