This place is perfect. Conveniently located in the middle of everything, yet pretty quiet for the area that’s in. The apartment was clean and comfortable. It comes with a washer which was a plus. Immediately after my arrival I was greeted by Ceren and Cengizhan. It’s only a 5-10 minute walk to Taksim Square Metro. That was the big win for me. I went all over Istanbul using public transit. Way cheaper than taxi.
Pros for me were:
1. Fast communication from Ceren. If there was ever a small issue, she took care of it quick.
2. Small supermarket conveniently located down the street
3. Safe area
4. Close to Metro
5. Washer in unit
6. Many restaurants around
Cons:
1. It is pretty steep to get to Taksim Square. For me this wasn’t an issue, but I can see how for some people it can be.
2. You can hear the neighbors a bit sometimes. It wasn’t loud enough to prevent me from sleeping
3. There was a problem with the water as it was cut off by the city. Which has NOTHING TO DO with the hosts. That was a city issue. It got resolved quick and the host was kind enough to keep me up to date with the issue and provide me with a big water container to get by.
Other than that I highly recommend this place. Would definitely stay here again.
