This was our second time to stay at this apartment. We liked it very much, it was clean, and modern. Close to everything. We had a perfect stay.

Very nice host and apartment

Stayed in September 2024

It was our first apartment in experience, The surroundings are around busy shops, although you are close to the local attractions, we enjoyed the stay at Sare house, host very helpful and no issues within the property, surroundings could’ve been little relaxed. Thank you Yusuf for your help and support. Recommended from UK.

Good host vey helpful.

Yusuf our host was very responsive to all requests from the time I first made the booking, right through our stay. The location is perfect, close to all the sights and with a lovely street of restaurants a couple of minutes away.

Curtains let a lot of light in so it was difficult to stay asleep in the morning

Generous space when compared to hotel rooms

The neighborhood was a bit dirty and the building was old. We felt safe but wasn’t a great location. No possibility to go by car near the property. The closest parking slot was 20 min away.

The apartment was like in the photos. It had what we needed. It was easy to find it. We spoke with the owner only on what’s up and he was kind. The main attractions (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque etc) were 20 minutes walk or 2 tram stations.

The property was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed, was walking distance to the center and the grand bazaar, and had plenty of shops and restaurants around.

The apartment was very beautiful, clean and big enough. We had everything we need. There were many restaurants, bakery and shops next to the apartment. It has a great location, tram station is a few minutes walk. The owner is very kind and helpful. I recommend the house for everybody, we had a wonderful stay.

Friendly and accommodating host. We felt badly we were late getting to the apartment on our arrival in Istanbul and Yusuf had to wait a long time from our original stated arrival time. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped for food preparation. Beautiful tiled bathroom. Lots of room in sitting room to be comfortable. Location close to the sites- a reasonable price. This is not a comment on this specific apartment but know that transportation to any apartment should be planned ahead and researched so as to understand how to arrive there from the airport. It is a long way to the old city from the airport. We did not do that and thankfully someone assisted us upon arriving. There is Uber in Istanbul but we had a bad experience with it upon leaving the apartment for the bus station. When you book through your Uber app, the drivers that come are not Uber. They are taxis and ask for cash and you must negotiate a price. Our experience with Uber has been that you pay by card on the app before the driver arrives. If you do not speak Turkish, you are at a disadvantage as our experience was that is not how it works in Istanbul.

The apartment is close to the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. It's clean, comfortable, has good wifi and overall offers great value. Our host Yusuf was very hospitable and made us feel right at home. P.S. Don't be scared by the look of the buildings on the street. The neighbourhood is super safe.

Very strong smell on arrival of air freshner . I have sensitive nose! This dissipated with air conditioner on. Bed sheet please buy 100% cotton 🙂Outside looks a bit sad but lovely as soon as the door opens .

A Spacious private unit to ourselves. Everything we needed was there. Great kitchen . Good shower pressure . Very handy with small convenience shop on the corner. Friendly neighbourhood. We ate at local restaurants and cafes. Easy walk to all sights . Clean and tidy unit .Quiet area. Just like the photos !

Unfortunately, Yusuf didn't warn that payment can only be made in cash, although the property’s page states that payment could be withdrawn from the linked card automatically before arrival. For this reason, we had to resolve this issue for three days, including attempts via portable ATM (unsuccessfully). Yusuf himself did not come, but he sent his relatives, who do not speak English (that was a problem also). As a result, we had to pay in TRY according to the local exchange rate (we lost a little money on this difference). So take cash with you in EUR or USD in advance. Also, the view from the window was slightly depressing (destroyed house opposite). Probably, for guests with limited mobility, the stairs will be a disadvantage (for me this was not a big problem).

Accommodation is very good! The host Yusuf was very polite, he was always in touch and ready to help. I would like to note the cleanliness of the accommodation. Every time I travel, I really appreciate it when I can walk around the rooms barefoot. Good shower, no leaks, stable hot water. The kitchen had everything you needed. Very nice bed, I slept very comfortably. Strong Wi-Fi connection.
