Selim’s place is very conveniently located in a cozy neighborhood within a walkable distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazar. Using the tram was easy especially since Selim had given us a tram card to use which we just had to top up at the tram stop. Selim also gave us a map of Istanbul and took the time to explain what we might want to see in the given time frame we had which was much appreciated. We loved the park next to Selim’s place where we relaxed in the evening with tea and shisha!
Selim also arranged our airport transfers and evening boat excursion and taxi. This really made our trip easy and worry free. We were 6 girls and just stayed for 3 days and 2 nights.
We didn’t find the area excessively noisy and slept well. I would definitely stay again as it felt like a home away from home.
