We stayed at Sayeste's place for a week in May 2021, right after the full lockdown in Turkey has been partially lifted. It is a beautiful apartment in the heart of İstanbul's historical neigborhood of Beyoglu, in a quiet lane right right off the main street of İstiklal. The apartment is located on the third floor (it's a walk-up) and offers a wonderful view of the city and Bosphorus. It is an actual family home and has everything you need for a comfortable living like a local. Communication with Sayeste was easy, as were the check-in and check-out instructions; she also offered helpful tips, including recommendations of nice places to eat. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend Sayeste's place for other travelers.
