You can see me here whenever you want. I provide some useful services (Such as rent a car, finding an accommodation, Istanbul & Bosporus tours, luggage storage, airport shuttle and diner & shows etc.) to the tourists. The main aim of these services is “Pay like a local, enjoy like a tourist”. *** ERDAL (My Mother-In-Law) *** Honorary Chief & Cleaning Inspector She was born in Kastamonu City, and lived there for many years.

The place was very clean and as described. But it really small for 7 adults. The location is really crowdy, forget about opening windows, but very close to istiklal street, which was our goal. The apartment is not good isolated, you hear every step taken from above apartment.

Family Gültekin was very nice and helpful. Before our arrival they had sent us some useful informations about istanbul and some recommends on what to see, eat, drink, where to go etc. That was very kind. Unfortunately the appartement was always a little humid and a little smaller than it seems on the photos. But the location is very good: near istiklal street and there are also some good restaurants, bars and shopping opportunities nearby. Good walkers can reaach sultanahmet in 15 to 20 minutes by foot. We always did that. But if you like daylight and spending a little more time in the appartement, I wouldn't recommend this appartement. If you spend more time outdoor, the appartement is really good.

Das ist wirklich eine sehr süße kleine Wohnung, aber leider liegt sie im Souterrain und ist dadurch sehr feucht - schade!!!

Sehr gut gelegen, für Istanbul relativ ruhig, sehr sauber, bemühte Gastgeber, sehr gut ausgestattet. Couchbetten ein bißchen hart.

Very pleased and would recommend to anyone. 5-10 mins walk from the main Istiklal Street, in a quiet residential area. Full apartment with Living room, TV, Sofa bed, main bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. I was a bit worried about security, but the apartment was secure, with a lockable gate on the door and an alarm system. Also the owners have an office downstairs, nothing was too much trouble for them, they were ready to help if we needed anything. One of the staff also speaks very good english. If I go back to Istanbul....I will take this apartment again without second thought.

Host was fantastic. I believe we had an apartment with hotel service and we were really happy. I also liked the fact that the hosts had an office downstairs, so if we needed anything we could just go down and see them. Really friendly too!
