Great place to stay if you have never been to Istanbul. It’s right in the middle of everything. The apartment also has basic kitchen amenities, and a market a few meters down the road if you want to prepare meals for yourself. The washer is 100% appreciated because I have been backpacking for nearly 3 weeks now. Hot water is reliable; A/C not so much.
Ayla is also a great host and tended to my needs/requests promptly and accurately. I extended my stay in Istanbul because I felt so at home here and in this city!
I already recommended Ayla’s place to friends visiting Istanbul in the next couple weeks. I would 100% stay here again.
