I loved Kadir’s place. I stayed here for a month and I absolutely loved it. The decor is perfect, the views are out of this world, the location is super central. The street itself looks a little run down but have no fear, it’s super safe and the tea man that owns the shop at the entrance of the building totally takes care of you and knew that I was the foreigner. Although we couldn’t communicate, he made sure that deliveries and the maids made it to my apartment. The great view comes with 93 stairs to the top—I considered it my butt work out. Kadir’s staff helps you with suitcases up and down on arrival and departure so it’s really not an issue and keeps you fit. I had an issue with the internet and that was a little frustrating, but Kadir did his best to help. After looking at several options on Airbnb in Beyoglu Kadir’s places are definitely the best when it comes to size and decor. There are a lot of places priced the same but smaller or not well decorated. This place has style. The only thing that I didn’t love was the lack of a dryer. It’s not ideal for longer stays, but it’s manageable. You can hang dry on the balcony though. The view from this place really counteracts any negatives. I ended up wanting to rent this place for longer despite the lack of a dryer, unfortunately the owners of the place were coming back. Anyway, if any of Kadir’s places are available, don’t hesitate to book.
