Emre's place is fantastic! It's clear he has thought through many details to make his guests' experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Perfect location for exploring Istanbul. Very centrally located, near both Taksim Square and Istikal in a very hip neighborhood. Lots of excellent restaurants, cafes, cool shops, and cute kittens.
Emre's place itself is beautifully designed and well-thought out, down to his very clear and thoughtful check-in instructions. The apartment is sunny, modern and clean. Very comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. Fast Wi-Fi. Also as a traveler, I really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the apartment. I enjoyed the details such as toiletries bags with all the essentials, a special tap for filtered drinking water (much appreciated after exploring Istanbul all day), and a Nespresso machine. I liked having an espresso in the morning before heading out to one of the many nearby breakfast restaurants for more Turkish tea and coffee.
