Carolina is a nice, kind and funny host! She will let you know what are the best places to visit in Istanbul. The location is very close to Taksim, that’s where me and mom went shopping😊 Supermarket is 1-2mins away from the place. Street food is delicious and very cheap! The only problems we had are: my mom waited a couple hours to get into apartment(the key wasn’t let where Carolina mentioned and when my mom was calling Carolina she wasn’t picking up the phone, I did let Carolina know what time my mom was supposed to be there); kitchen was a mess(it was too dirty for me) and bathroom was a little bit messy too. I was expecting to be more organized🤷‍♀️ The room was clean though!
