A great apartment away from the hustle and bustle but still very well located. We loved the local, authentic feel of the area. Quick walks to all kinds of transport and close to the thriving Istiklal Street with its shops and many restaurants and cafes. There are some hills to negotiate but we found that’s pretty typical in many areas of the city. The apartment is up three flights of stairs so may not suit everyone but we are older travellers and managed just fine. The space itself is delightful. Views from both bedrooms and the living area, really well equipped and styled. The plumbing smell in the bathroom was not good but Erhan offered some helpful suggestions to minimise it. Once again, we put it down to the Istanbul experience.
Erhan is a great host. He gave us a comprehensive orientation by Whatsapp as he was called away unexpectedly before our checkin. He provided so many options for sightseeing, food, transport, shopping that added to our experience. Thanks so much Erhan!
