This was our first trip to turkey and from the day I booked chiko’s place, Chiko has been in touch with me and has been very patient. Our plans kept changing till the last moment but he was extremely and understanding.
The day my brother and I arrived, chiko was waiting for us, there is a cafe downstairs, which btw has amazing food and coffee. We sat there for quite a while.. my brother and I instantly hit it off with chiko.. after checking in we hung out together. With him and his cousin Jameel.
He helped us plan the whole trip in detail, told us about every place and the easiest route to those places.
But we got along so well, that we hung out everyday, chiko is a very sweet and helpful.
My brother and I are so glad that we found this place and met chiko, because the highlight of our trip was that we formed a great friendship with him and his cousin.. Which I am sure is forever to stay. This trip was very special because of the people we met.
Thank you, Chiko. ❤️
Oh, and about the house. It's a very cute and a pretty apartment with a terrace that has an incredible view. It was clean and had all the amenities. The place is right in the center and everything is at the walking distance.. Metro, taksim square and the galata tower is right in front of the apartment! All walking distance.. The area itself is very lovely, with great cafe's and vintage shops..
And chiko is an amazing host. Just stay at his apartment for him and you will be very happy.
