This Beautiful home (location and architecture) and air bnb hosts (Omer and Eren) capture the beauty, diversity and essence of Istanbul and Turkey!
We are from the Fiji islands and we LOVED our 5 day stay in winter! We went out exploring everyday and it was soooo lovely to come back to a warm toasty home! We were 5 adults staying so the 5 floors worked well for us. lots of space/ room to have your own quiet time. We all had great sleeps.
Great location - where you are near enough to get to:
1. popular places like İstiklal Caddesi, Galata tower or Taksim square by foot. But far enough to not hear the hustle and bustle!
2. Transport - Home is also a short walk (7-10mins) to the tram line that can take you to other popular tourist places located in Old City. Or you can take a taxi from the taxi base that is just 2mins from the front door. Or take the ferry from Karaköy (14mins stroll down) to Kadikoy or Eminönü 😊
3. Restaurants - Omer and Eren recommended places to eat are a MUST DO. We had our first Turkish breakfast at Luby’s - JUST DIVINE! PLus the dinner places - You get to see the hip part of Beyoğlu come alive at night (all of these are 15mins walk from home!)
4. Bakery, stores, pharmacy and other essentials are all with 5 mins walk
5. Hamam - you are spoilt for choice as there are a number of hamams located nearby. There is an upmarket one on the street itself.
The communication with Omer was fast. He took great care of us. Really appreciated him checking in on us to make sure we were ok. He helped us locate an excellent guide for Hagia Sofia!
Highly recommended!!
