If I find myself back in Istanbul, Matt’s place is where I would stay! Matt is quick to respond, very helpful and was always able to point us in the right direction whether it's where to get a covid test or the best way to the airport at 5 am. Prior to arriving Matt gave us all the details we needed for self checkin and when we arrived the place was easy to find and the check in was very smooth. The apartment is clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need - washer & dryer, a full range of toiletries, and many other amenities for a long term stay. The bathroom is nice and very spacious! There is a nice outdoor patio from the bedroom and a smaller outdoor area from the living room. The bed in the bedroom is very comfortable and there is a good amount of closet and drawer space for your clothes. The Wifi was great, good enough for an hour long zoom video call. No streaming issues when surfing the web or watching netflix on the TV.
Matt’s place is perfectly located with many restaurants, cafes and markets within a 3 minute walk. There are also two metros located within a 5-10 minute walk so it makes getting around the city very convenient. Also within a 10 minute walk are the famous streets of Taksim and Istiklal where the streets are filled with shops, currency exchanges (Doviz), restaurants, street foods, etc. You will not regret staying at this gem of place!
