I loved loved staying here.
This are was perfect for my friend and I.
We are both young in our 20s and this location was so close to the cutest areas of Istanbul.
The apartment is chic, well decorated, and it EASILY has one of the best views in all of Istanbul.
It really is incredible. The sunrise, the sunset, just amazing. We stayed in AUG and the weather was amazing.
The neighborhood is old, it is, the area is right behind Tarlabasi BLVD but please do not let the oldness deter you from this stay.
It truly is just a neighborhood of families. The working class of Istanbul.
I would say this street is comparable to Harlem or Brooklyn New York, but it really is just families who are living their life, nothing to fear.
The host Ram is so helpful, they answered every question. The space is equipped with many tools and useful things.
The flat is up 6 floors of stairs, be ready, they are 100% a workout.
No elevator, but the view is absolutely worth it. Plus with it being so high up you get so much privacy, which is hard to come by in Istanbul because it’s so populated. The terrace is large and has privacy dividers that make it completely private. We did yoga in the mornings out there.
The bathroom is petite, but efficient.
I would 100% stay here again.
The electric sound of the city at night was so amazing here.
There is a little bit of noise but this is a city, with a soul and with an incredible energy, please enjoy the slight noise. (With the windows closed it’s almost completely quiet in the apartment besides prayer hours which feature people single prayer songs all around Istanbul.)
Also, there are grocery stores within walking distance, and fruit stands a street over.
On sundays they have a giant market that fills the street, it features all kinds of things like underwear, fruit, incense, spices, etc.
I could go on but this would take forever!
Loved the place!
