Great communication from hosts before arrival and at arrival. Muge and Nebi accommodated our requests for baby items, making our stay easier. They also gave me an extra pillow and a pregnancy wedge to ensure I was comfortable.
The place is a great budget find. It has most things that you would need. The first bedroom could use a surface like a nightstand and a closet so you can put down your things.
The apartment building is on a steep road with little sidewalk space, but this is common in Istanbul. It was a bit of a walk being pregnant and having 2 little ones, but still manageable. The road is quite busy, so just be aware of all the cars going down the hill. It is better to go up the hill to the main street, rather than walk down the hill as that is significantly more steep. There is a mosque across the street so be aware of the calls to prayer. We also went during Ramadan so the mosque had more activity. Our toddler managed to sleep through it though.
For a budget-friendly stay with warm hosts, we would recommend Muge and Nebi’s place.
