The apartment is perfectly located, it is really close to Taksim square. There are many shops and restaurants near the apartment and i think it is the place to stayed in Istanbul because not so much touristic. The apartment is new and clean, and it look like perfectly to the picture. there is a small terasse really nice and there is really silent. just one little thing, the bathroom is very little. I really recommand this place!
Jun 27, 2019Отличное расположение, до улицы Истикляль 5 минут пешком, до двух станций метро - 10-15 минут, рядом есть автобусная остановка. В самой квартире можно жить двумя парами (на кухне раскладной диван). Душевая совмещена с туалетом, для кого-то это может стать проблемой, вариант скорее для неприхотливых. Хозяин, Волкан - очень приветливый, готовый помочь во всех вопросах, хорошо говорит по-английски. Может показать множество интересных мест в городе, куда туристы сами не доберутся :) Итого: твёрдая четвёрка.
Jun 27, 2019Rather good flat. Nothing special, but great for such a low price. Two good beds, all other things that you need. One little problem: water in the shower stream down too slow: so, 5-10 sm water remain in the floor for next hour) But its not a big deal. We were happy too see, that photos don't lie, that Taxim and metro/buses/funicular/shops/clubs/restaraunts are really near, that Volcan is very helpful guy, who did everything we ask. So, it was fine. For that price - excellent.
Jun 27, 2019Very good appartment, it has everything needed and it is really close to Istiklal. Volkan is a very welcoming and supportive host! He showed us around and did everything to make us feel comfortable.
Jun 27, 2019I would highly recommend this apartment and a host. We had a late flight to Istanbul and for Volkan that wasn't a problem. He waited us and showed us some cool bars the same night. Apartment is very close to Istiklal (the street where everything is happening), but yet it is very quiet an clean (pictures don't lie). There is no need to use public transportation, you can reach the main historical buildings on foot. Also if you need anything ask Volkan, he knows everything about Istanbul and he is willing to tell you.
Jun 27, 2019Great spot! Great location! Everything is really close; Taksim square, Galata shopping, and the Old-City. Apartment is spacious, clean, and cozy. Located in a good neighborhood; we walked around at night with no fears. This was our first trip to Istanbul and Volkan really helped us have a positive experience. He was able to provide us with a lot of details about the city. I would highly recommend this location!
Jun 27, 2019Hi Volkan, thank you for these wonderful moments spent in your appatement! The warm atmosphere and the sympathy you have shown we were right in the heart. Very sensitive to the many kindnesses you regaled us during this trip, we wanted to thank you. more: The apartment is good for 4persons, it is new and comfortable, it is well located, walking distance to Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue ...... the neighborhood is old and very nice, with a fruit market on Saturday :) We returned from our vacation satisfied Stay as you are! Encore merci Volkan
Jun 27, 2019Volkan was nice and easy to reach at all times. The house is like in the pictures, new and clean, it is an old building but he did a fine work renovating it. I didn't walk much on this neighbourhood since I didn't have a lot of days. It was noisy for me in the living room, sometimes we couldn't open the window all the way but I guess this is Istambul, like my country Spain, noisy. The room was quiet, so good for sleeping. There are two things that I wasn't very comfortable with, one being the bathroom, I didn't realized in the pictures that it was so small, the shower was very good but you have to take the toilet paper out every time you shower and there is no place really to leave your toiletries, and the second one was that we couldn't really cook because there was nothing to cook with, so it was not completely equipped, just basics. Not a big problem since there are a lot of restaurants to try out! The stairs to the flat are very narrow and a bit steep so if you have trouble climbing stairs keep this in mind, other than that, you get use to it easily, Volkan helped us with our heavy luggage. I must say that we are on our 40's and that is why I think this is a flat more for young people than for a mature couple. But it was all right for 3 nights and for the price.
Jun 27, 2019Great host. Volkan is very helpful and speaks great English. The location is close to taksim. The apartment is good for 1-2 people. It's small and bathroom is very small. As long as it's 2 people max you should be good.
Jun 27, 2019Volcan was a great host. Thanks for a lovely stay
Jun 27, 2019Volkan thank you ...))) the best))) of the best)) (Website hidden by Airbnb) Все отлично ... Волкан спасибо огромное ... Теплый прием ... Были в Стамбуле впервые ...очень положительные эмоции от встречи и на протяжении всего пребывания !!! Еще раз спасибо !!! Волкан все организовал на высшем уровне !!!! Будем рекомендовать все друзьям !!!!! Еще раз спасибо !!!!!!)))))))))
Jun 27, 2019I booked this place for my niece, her husband and her one year old daughter. It was very clean and it met their expectations fully. The neighborhood is part of old Istanbul and family oriented with a lot of children playing in the street. There is great access to main street with public transports. Taksim square is only 10 minutes walk. Volcan is a great guy and he made my family feel very welcome. For sure we will work with Volcan again if we end up coming back to Istanbul. Thanks Volcan Nasser
Jun 27, 2019L'appartement de Volkan est plutôt bien placé par rapport aux endroits à visiter dans Istambul mais malheureusement il se situe dans une petite rue excentrée peu accueillante pour 2 jeunes femmes désireuses de faire la fête et de rentrer tard le soir. Nous avons en effet été suivies en rentrant de boîte de nuit et nous avons dû nous cacher chez un commerçant voisin :-( Toutefois je recommande ce logement à des hommes ou éventuellement des couples mais pas des femmes seules. Sinon Volkan est relativement serviable et pourra répondre à vos questions concernant les modalités pratiques de votre séjour.
Jun 27, 2019Appartement sommaire mais fonctionnel, très bien situé dans une rue calme à proximité de commerces et surtout proche de la grande rue commercante de Taksin et de sa vie nocturne. Volkan nous a très bien accueillit, très arrangeant et pret à repondre à toutes vos questions. Nous avons été très contentes de notre séjour à Istanbul. Nous recommandons cet hôte.
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment with a nice location. We enjoyed our stay here. Thanks Volkan !
Jun 27, 2019It was wonderful holiday! Thanks! Небольшая, но уютная квартира! есть все необходимое-шампунь, фен, полотенца. Рядом улица с барами, ресторанами, магазинами. Мы приезжали поздно ночью, Volkan нас ждал, помог объяснить таксисту как доехать, был очень приветлив несмотря на позднее время. Всем рекомендуем!
Jun 27, 2019Everything was great, Voltan is a perfect host, with lots of advices and always ready to help at almost 24/7! The place itself is pretty small, but the position near the entertainment center is awesome! Great for short-time staying!
Jun 27, 2019The location is great, close to Taksim, there are small stores and food options close by. The place is very clean and Volkan was very helpful. The only drawback was the fact that we were 4 people and the sofa bed was not sleepable for even one person. The problem was not with space but with the comfort you need from a bed. Other than that, great place, great location, great host!
Jun 27, 2019Volkan was a wonderful host. He waited until after 1am for us to arrive as our flight was late. Volkan sat down with us and gave us tips on where to visit in Istanbul. He also let us borrow a travel guide book and gave us a map of the city. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. The apartment is in a great location- a short walk to Istikal street. I would recommend staying here. It's great value!
Jun 27, 2019Really nice place, cozy and tidy. Volkan was really helpfull and very nice!
Jun 27, 2019Volkan is a careful host,although i changed my mind and i moved.He wasnt enthusiastic but...For couples its ok..For lonely person not so good....its 15 min.to taksim square with a quick walk...all over are strange people after eight p.m..But Volkans ap.has everything u need...but if u want smtg u need to ask....He takes care a lot...when u have a problem write him he will help for sure...The accomodation is exactly the same as on the (Website hidden by Airbnb) its nice to see that the reality=photo,coz here in Turkey its rarely to see the same as u choose....In general im satisfied....
Jun 27, 2019Thanks a lot for an awesome stay Volkan! Great apartment! Awesome shower! ! Great location! Everything was easy to get to and Volkan was an extremely helpful and an attentive host...Responded immediately to my messages and made me feel very welcome. All the best man!
Jun 27, 2019Volkan was a great host. Very accommodating, genial, very easy to communicate with (both upon the time of the booking and during the duration of our stay), clearly loves the Istanbul culture and can give good suggestions on how to go about the trip. The flat was as advertised. Clean, amenities all working, wifi was good, sheets, towels and extras were provided. Volkan was also nice enough to take care of our laundry. I travelled with my family (dad and sister) and found the flat to be very comfortable to fit us all. Bathroom may be a bit small but it's easy to get over that with the space we got anyway. The neighborhood is a bit raw and hilly (steep in some parts - so get a good cab if traveling with heavy luggages) but very very near the Istiklal Caddesi which is basically one of the major veins of Istanbul. So that's a plus. Very near the flat also are small restaurants serving good and inexpensive local food and minimarts for basic needs. Istanbul is a great city with nice people and amazing food. Volkan provided us a good flat to rest ourselves after a day of walking the city. Would recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Volkan met my girlfriend and I at the apartment even after our last minute booking. He was extremely helpful in getting us settled in and teaching us how to turn on the apartment's radiators. The place itself was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the high pressure hot shower was a godsend. Thanks so much for the great stay, Volkan! We will definitely come back if we're ever in Istanbul.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is well located, nice and very confortable even when it's freezen outside. Volkan is a very good host because he gave to us some maps and an historical guide to discover the city and he is also permissive about late check out .
Jun 27, 2019Everything was really nice. The apartment was very warm despite the city being covered in snow. Very close to lots of cool places. Volkan is very nice and available for any questions or problems. Overall a great experience :D
Jun 27, 2019Amazing little apartment. Perfect location to get around. Volkan was super flexible which we appreciated. Stay here!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great time at Istanbul! Volkan was very helpful and showed us the way around the apartment. The location is great. Quiet but near everything you want to see or do. The apartment looks like the pictures. We had a great weekend!
Jun 27, 2019La experiencia en el apartamento de volean fue genial. Es un lugar muy céntrico muy cerca caminando de la Calle Istiklal y de Taksim. El lugar está ordenado. Volean es un excelente anfitrión y al comunicación con él es muy fácil y fluida desde el inicio. Gracias por tu colaboración y ayuda.
Jun 27, 2019Nice and clean place, not far from anywhere we wanted to be. Volkan was great with getting in touch when we needed him. Overall a good experience in Istanbul.
Jun 27, 2019Accommodation match the photos. The apartment is in the historic district. Near the main street of Istanbul (Istiklal). Good combination of price and quality. There is air conditioning.
Jun 27, 2019Volkan was there to meet me at the building and was very welcome. Before, during and after stay, he was always quickly available to answer any questions I threw at him. The apartment was basic and located in a working class family neighborhood, but I always felt safe. It has two rooms separated by a hallway and a bathroom. It's a youth hostel version of an AirBnB, but everything you need is there. Great deal!
Jun 27, 2019Volkan is a great host. Our flight was delayed and we ended up reaching his place only at 1AM and Volkan was available to provide our taxi driver with directions as well as welcome us and show us around the apartment. The apartment itself is perfectly sized for 2. For a group of 4, it may be a little cramped but again it is not too bad. The proximity to Istiklal street makes it a perfect place to spend time in Istanbul. Given a chance, I would definitely stay in Volkan's place.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Five minutes to Istiklal Street by walking. Restorated old Ottoman appartment. Pretty comfortable matress. Shower is quite good. If you are a tourist couple or a lone ranger, this flat is for you. The guy ‘Yusuf’ was so friendly and helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Отличная, уютная, стильная квартира в старом доме со свежим ремонтом. Звукоизоляция хорошая, намного лучше, чем в недорогих гостиницах с картонными стенками. Квартал не туристический, здесь живут местные жители, и этим он хорош - низкими ценами и хорошей инфраструктурой. Буквально за углом совсем недорогое кафе (вкусная еда, цены как в столовых), пекарня с вкусняшками, два минимаркета - carrefour и sok. по выходным через дорогу открывается овощной рынок, где овощи и фрукту можно купить раза в два-три дешевле, чем в в супермаркете (где и так и не очень дорого).
Jun 27, 2019Volkan very nice person. I stay him apartments 2 week very cute and clean flat. Near Taksim istiklal metro station bus station.ıstanbul travel for very nice apartments. Thank you very much Volkan!!! I hope again visit your flat
Jun 27, 2019Спасибо нашим хостам Волкану и Зине за тёплый приём и чудесную квартирку. Их небольшая уютная студия оснащена всем необходимым для длительного проживания ( мы даже расстроились, что у нас было так мало времени) и находится всего в 3х минутах от самой оживленной и колоритной улицы Стамбула - İstiklal!
Jun 27, 2019Good location, main street reachable in a few minutes, everything needed in the flat.
Jun 27, 2019Volkan is great, his apartment is much more beautiful than in the photos, it has style, it is warm and it is in an excellent neighborhood, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the beautiful city of Istanbul. I'll be back very soon. regards
Jun 27, 2019Very cozy and light apartment. Great location, 2 minutes away from Istiklal avenue - the most amazing place to visit in my opinion. Volkan is great host, very communicable and response quickly. Thank you so much. Hope to see you again at the same place!!! Alina and Aleksey
Jun 27, 2019The host was very hospitable, interested and gave a very quick response to everything. home is comfortable, clean and convenient space. it is very close to omer hayyam bus station and short walking distance to metro station. Thank you for comfortable stay...
Jun 27, 2019Perfect for a short stay. Volkan's place was clean and close to Taksim square with many restaurants close by.
Jun 27, 2019The location and the apartment itself are just perfect for exploring Istanbul! Everything you need is close by (bars, restaurants, shops etc) but the apartment is still in a quiet area with a local vibe. The apartment is cosy, clean, and has everything you need for preparing breakfast etc. The size is perfect for couples. We really enjoyed our stay there and enjoyed a very warm welcome from Volkan‘s brother. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019Квартира на третьем этаже (физически четвертый). Но если в Вас весу не 120 кг, как во мне, довольно крутая винтовая лестница не сильно испугает. Интерьер очень приятный, полностью соответствует фотографиям. Особенно понравился деревянный пол, неокрашенный, просто лакированный или пропитанный маслом - приятно ходить босиком. Так как мы были в гостях у Волкана 16 дней, очень выручила стиральная машина (правда все надписи на ней на турецком, но при наличии Wi-Fi - это не составило никаких проблем). Звукоизоляция отличная.Двери входные надежные, стальные. С балкона можно наблюдать обычную жизнь местных. По воскресеньям овощной рынок с утра и до восьми вечера. Автобусная остановка в 5 минутах ходьбы. До Таксима - макс. 10 минут. Рекомендую - для двух человек и цена и качество - самое то!
Jun 27, 2019The appartement was clean and in a quiet area. We enjoyed our stay. Volkan and his brother are very nice people. You can get easily to the Taksim square or to the metro station. Very nice !
Jun 27, 2019Its a nice condo good for 2 persons. The location was perfect as expected, Taskim square, Istiklal street, grocery story, Tram station, all are at walkable distance. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes to reach Tram station. Overall, its worth staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Great little flat in a great location. You can walk to most major sites if you want to; and if not—multiple local transportation options are very close by. Plenty of local amenities available in the neighborhood, and on Sunday there is a street bazaar that begins on the cross street opposite the apartment with a wonderful selection of fresh produce, fruit, nuts and more. And Volkan is very quick to respond to any communication.
Jun 27, 2019Отличное расположение квартиры, тихий район, несколько кафе где можно позавтракать. В 10 минутах ходьбы центральная улица Истикляль, 15 мин до Галатской башни. Удобное расположение к общественному транспорту - автобусы, фуникулер, метро. В квартире чистота и есть все для длительного проживания - холодильник, плита, посуда, посудомойка, фен, хорошая звукоизоляция. Отзывчивый и доброжелательный хозяин.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location very close to Istiklal Caddesi, the main shopping street, but in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment has all the necessities, new and clean! Volkan was quick and clear in the check in, great host!
Jun 27, 2019Se puede llegar fácil a muchos lugares y hay muchos otros para comer cerca
Jun 27, 2019Very good location in center
Jun 27, 2019It was very nice and cozy place, close to main street (Istiklal) and Volkan's brother who welcomed us was very nice and helpful, I recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019Мне понравилось, район такой старинный, дома стоят на горе. Идти приходится или вверх или вниз. Лестница в доме шикарная, винтовая вокруг балки. Свет на ней включается от движения и надо очень быстро взбираться по ней, что бы успеть от одной лампы к другой. Я не успевал, а оказавшись на такой лестнице без света то ещё удовольствие. Сама квартира не большая, но мне самый раз, я жил один. Архитектура дома понравилась, он сам из кирпича с деревянными полами. Вид из окна лучше не смотреть. В пяти минутах пешеходная улица, куча баров, мини рынки. Расположение хорошее.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is in an old house, bright, clean and stylish. The only thing that was not, it's toiletries, they had to buy yourself. To the main street of Beyoglu 5-10 minute walk.
Jun 27, 2019Спасибо огромное за гостеприимство! Наши ожидания оправдались, все очень чисто и стильно. Хозяин дружелюбный,отвечает мгновенно на все интересующие вопросы. Месторасположение очень удобное, недалеко от площади Таксим, рядом много супермаркетов. Будем рады вернуться.
Jun 27, 2019Небольшая квартирка в старом кирпичном доме на 3-м (почти 4-ом) этаже. Как мы поняли, абсолютно аналогичные квартиры находятся этажами ниже и выше, с небольшой разницей. Только наша квартира была с небольшим открытым балкончиком. Прекрасное местоположение, до центральной улицы рукой подать. В воскресенье из окон туалета открывается прекрасный вид на рынок и жизнь турков :))) Квартирка показалась нам уже немного потрепанной, было бы замечательно чуть обновить ремонт(покрасить стены, починить смеситель на кухне) и получше убираться (часто натыкались на чужие волосы, пододеяльник был старый и в катышках). Но брат Волкана - Атилла извинился за не очень хорошую уборку, сказал, что обычно они сами тщательно чистят квартиру, но в этот раз не смогли, и убирался кто-то другой. И, пожалуй, за такую цену можно простить эти небольшие недостатки. Встретил нас Атилла, все объяснил, показал и был всегда на связи. По всем просьбам быстро откликался. За что ему большое спасибо!
