First and most important, the service in this place is amazing. It is a small apartment building with a dozen or so units, and operates like a hybrid Airbnb and hotel—you get some hotel like services. From the moment we arrived, Erol greeted us, gave us tea, and gave us an excellent orientation on our part of the city and advice for our explorations. Then for a week we spoke with him every day, he gave us advice, answered our endless questions about the economy, culture, history, etc. So useful and fun to talk to. And he helped us book things when we needed it. Just an amazing guy.
The room was great, with a small kitchen and bathroom. The building has a gym, sauna and a rooftop terrace to hang out on—with a view of the Marmara Sea. We met other guests from several other countries while lounging on the terrace.
The location is a winner too, in a cute little tucked away neighborhood with its own shops and restaurants, but only a few blocks from the main trolley line and a short walk to the Hoppodrome/Blue Mosque/Haifa Sophia.
We can’t recommend this place enough
