We went to Istanbul not for the first time and this time we wanted to stay not in a hotel, but in an apartment to feel more at home.
We were very lucky to come across Faruk's apartment because many owners don't provide quality photos and descriptions of the property.
The apartment is wonderful! Spacious rooms, living room, quiet area. There is a stove, washing machine and dishwasher.
As for the location, there is a T1 tram station within a 5-minute walk, which can quickly get to Sultanahmet or even Dolmabahce. Comfortable, fast, high-speed tram. If you want to walk, the walk to the center will take about an hour.
There are many shops and cafes near the house, we went to Mado, Big Mamma's and Aloha Cafe. There are many grocery stores, Carrefur is located right next to the Findikzade tram stop.
We separately want to note the hospitality and responsiveness of Faruk, who helped organize the issues of stay and settlement even before arrival. We were sad to leave this apartment, because in a week we got very used to it and its comfort.
