The hosts Sibel and Merve were both amazing to say the least.
We were able to leave our bags at the apartment before check in and were recommended a coffee shop a short 2 min away.
The location is perfect between Besiktas and Galataport. An easy taxi ride to Ortakoy and the metro right across the road that can take you to the heart of Istanbul to explore. There is a corner shop conveniently next door and a couple of restaurants around (be wary of closing time).
The apartment is very secure and spacious. A large living and dining area and all amenities included.
Only downside was the lack of wardrobe space and sounds coming from upstairs that the hosts quickly attended to to ensure our comfort.
We were a nuisance at times as we got locked out and forgot luggage inside🤦‍♀️ The hosts were responsive and did not make us feel uncomfortable.
Sibel and Merve thank you very very much for creating a homey environment for us.
