I booked the flat for my mom and brother and that is what they said about their stay there: "We would like to thank the owner and administrators for our comfortable stay and their hospitality. Thank you, Ilhan and Taha for your hospitality. We were communicating with the Hotel staff by aiarbnb website and later with whats app, and they always responded to us properly and on time giving advices on the local places. This is a small hotel located in close proximity to the famous Istiklal street (500 meters) and Tepebasi bus stop (350 meters). We stayed in the place that had a sleeping room with a comfortable queen-size bed, a small living room with extendable sofa and additional bed as well as a fully equipped kitchen and clean bathroom. The place is very new and clean so we really liked our stay. However, there was some noise during the day as the neighbor across the street were renovating their house. However, it wasn't a problem as we were exploring the city during the day, and at the evening and during the night it was silent. It was really easy to reach the famous Istanbul attraction points from here. We didn't explore the local area much, however, there are several small shop around as well as a bakery on the first floor. It looks like there are a lot of other places rented to the tourists so the region is full of people traveling and popular for its cheap prices and good location. On our arrival we got a nice surprise of two bags of fresh bread and bakery products. When we were leaving the place we wanted to buy some fresh bread on the go, but the owner presented us with two bags of bakery products. Very nice! Thank you so much for your hospitality! You made our stay very enjoyable in Istanbul!"
