I had a lovely stay at Rana & Cem’s place. I was greeted at check in by Rana, and given a nice tour of the apartment.
Rana was very kind and flexible with both check in and check out. She let us check out a bit later due to the fact that our flight out of Istanbul was at 8pm.
The apartment itself is very cosy & tastefully decorated. It has all the amenities that one could want. The heating and hot water was excellent as well.
The location is quite central/convenient and it is a 5-10 min walk to taksim square. Just one small point to note is that the walk from taksim to the apartment is a bit steep, so be aware of that if you have heavy luggage.
Overall I would highly recommend Rana & Cem’s place along with their excellent hospitality :). Hope to stay here again!
