Efe & Memet have this wonderful place right in the heart of Istanbul near Taksim Square. I will break my review into 3 main parts - Hospitality, Location & Cleanliness
1. Hospitality - Memet was in contact with me even before I left for Istanbul with all the details. He was continuously in touch when I was trying to reach the place from the airport and during the entire course of my stay, making sure I had everything I needed & was well fed (a vegetarian in Turkey can be slightly challenging). They let me extend my stay by an hour even with a guest about to arrive later in the day.
2. Location - Right on the main street near a prominent Metro Station with absolutely perfect bus connectivity. A short 10 mins walk from Taksim Square and 15 mins from Beshiktas. Surrounded by stores, cafes and restaurants, you have everything you need nearby plus the safety of being on a major street means late nights are possible
3. Property - A studio apartment with everything you need and a little more. If you intend to stay out all day and come home to a relaxing sleep at night, this is the perfect space for you. Spacious room with a kitchenette and ample storage space.
Overall a perfect and comfortable stay. Highly recommended if you are in Istanbul.
