The most valuable aspect that this apartment has is communication with the owner. He is open-minded and willing to help in any situation under any circumstances. As well as that, the flat makes you dive into Turkish authenticity by style and furniture as well as location with a beautiful balcony. It is a great location in terms of getting food (grocery store, street food, restaurants), fun (several clubs in walking distance, shisha), and spiritual thought (mosque nearby).

As stated by the guest "Nazeeh" earlier, the downsides are still following: 1. "Lack of basic facilities such as towels (we had only one each) shampoo, tissue paper, and drinking water wasn't available at arrival" 2. Very steep stairs, which can be challenging for someone with heavy luggage or health issues or in case someone has too much to drink 3. Due to wooden authenticity, some furniture is a little bit damaged but not crucially

Our stay at Authentic Turkish Home was great. The place was easy to find and in a good location, with easy access to public transportation to other parts of town. The room was very cozy, with a lovely view from the terrace.

There was a slightly unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom, possibly the drains.

Actually, there was some misunderstanding. as we were to check in on September 08, 2022, the room was not free to submit to us. But the owner of the Hotel arranged another room in another Hotel (not far from Authentic Turkish free of charge and reimbursed us the fee for the first night. At the same time, there is a cafe next to Authentic Turkish (Chaynik). Very delicious meals, especially Muhlama. The personnel was fantastic. Several times they even didn't get money for tea.

I can't say I didn't like it, but it could be better if they do some repair work in the bathroom. Some tiles rusted.

Our host Bora was excellent. He checked us one hour earlier. He kept texting me to check how our stay was going.

Basic facilities such as towels (we had only one each) shampoo, tissue paper, drinking water weren't available at arrival. We had to ask for them. If you are traveling with heavy luggage I suggest you avoid the upper floors (Very steep stairs)

I wouldn’t go out on night time in the area on my own. But the flat was very comfortable and clean. I was happy there. It is very close to public transport. The host was friendly and polite.

The area was not clean and quiet enough.

Great cafe Caynik next door, they have breakfasts.

Beautifully restored traditional town house. Room 105 was a very comfortable apartment with separate living room/ kitchenette, shower room and large bedroom. Warm greeting by owner who helped us with luggage. Very close to Ortakoy town centre and Bosphorus.

Not suitable for people with limited mobility.

Property was comfortable, nicely decorated

The kitchen wasn’t very well equipped, but that was not an issue as our host provided everything we needed shortly.

All was good

Nothing

The warm ambience

All perfect
