cozy room in Taksim Istanbul

Reviews

• Reviewer: Louis

  Comments: Clean and tidy place, was as advertised and well located. My host was helpful and pointed me in the right direction for things to do.

• Reviewer: Nart

  Comments: Ceylan is very friendly, and her directions on how to get to the house were really accurate. The place is not far from Taksim at all. The apartment (especially the bathroom) was clean. Just keep in mind that the building does not have an elevator (was not a big deal for me).

• Reviewer: Thaís

  Comments: A proprietária é ótima, muito amigável. No primeiro dia ela foi me buscar na praça e já eram quase 3 da manhã. A localização também é ótima. Apenas a limpeza do banheiro deixou um pouco a desejar, mas no geral, foi uma boa experiência.

• Reviewer: Dan

  Comments: Ceylan is a lovely person with an apartment right in the middle of everything. Be sure to spend time with her and learn as much as you can about Turkey and Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Pascal

  Comments: Ceylan is a very friendly host, she made me feel welcome. She had the room available, even though I did only book a few days in advance, and gave detailed advice on how to get to the place (and offered to pick me up from Taksim). The flat is very nice, it looks recently decorated. The room is not big, but that is not needed anyway, as there is a large living room, and it is cozy and clean, as is the rest of the flat. The location is very good, near Taksim Square, yet in a quiet street.

• Reviewer: Sarika

  Comments: I had a wonderful time staying in Istanbul. The location of this apartment was perfect and I have nothing but nice things to say about Ceylan. The apartment was as advertised.

• Reviewer: Petra

  Comments: Ceylan has a lovely apartment and it's perfectly located in the Taksim area. It's near the busy shopping and restaurant street and with a good walk you can get to the popular tourist spot on foot, else public transport is all around. The place is completely renovated and makes you feel at home. I totally enjoyed staying there and she is great to talk to but gives you enough privacy if you need some. She is very accommodating on arrival times and you might meet a few other fellow travelers there. Totally recommend her place to stay in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Cal

  Comments: The location of the flat is very close to Taksim Square and only 5 minutes walk to Ishtikal Street and Metro. The flat itself is fairly spacious and has all mod cons. The room is very small and has a single bed and a chest of drawers. There is no area to hang clothing. The room can also get quite humid in the evening. Ceylan herself was very open to offer advice about the city and was happy to provide for my request for a fan and easy to contact during my brief stay. All in all I would reccommend the room for very short stays who just want a crash pad and good location in Taksim.

• Reviewer: Obad

  Comments: My room was clean and neat, the flat is big, you could meet other tourists and share stories and experiences. The place was very reasonable transportation-wise for me : around 5 minutes from Taqsim metro station, around 7 minutes from Kabatas Tram station (which could take you to Sultan Ahmad and other historical places), 8 minutes from Ferry station. Ceylan was kind and nice person.

• Reviewer: Youghourta

  Comments: I enjoyed staying in this apartment. The location was just PERFECT, just few minutes from the metro station/Taksim Square, it is really quit and clean. Ceylan was very friendly. I recommend this place.

• Reviewer: Sabine

  Comments: I was very happy with my stay and can recommend this place. Nice flat, comfortable bed, very centrally located. The bedroom is small and the bed may be too short for tall people (1.80m), but it was fine for me. I only met Ceylan on the last day as she was visiting her family over the holidays, but her friend let me in and gave me lots of advice.

• Reviewer: Anesa

  Comments: Ceylan's apartment is contemporary and spacious. Ceylan turned out to be a great host. She's extremely friendly and always there to advise. All the rooms were occupied and I met great people from other countries. Apartment is 5 mins to taksim and a safe neighbourhood. Taking the luggage upstairs was quite a mission-no lift. A must recommend!

• Reviewer: Kea

  Comments: Tiny but nice room in a very central neighborhood and Ceylan was a really kind host.

• Reviewer: Florian

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host in a great location, i slept very well and didn't miss anything!

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: Ceylan was a fantastic host. The place is lovely and she was so helpful. Very accommodating of needs etc. I can highly recommend

• Reviewer: Arthur

  Comments: I stayed in Istanbul an extra day, so I needed a room since my last Airbnb place was already booked, and Ceylan was there to make sure I had a place with short notice. Within minutes of my first message, Ceylan confirmed my booking and made sure I had everything I needed to stay at her apartment the following day. The location was great and the room was cozy. I only needed a bed for the night, but I had a lot more available for me if needed. Such a friendly host and a great experience!

• Reviewer: Geraldine

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host! She was very easy to reach and provided a personal touch to my visit with her tips and showing me around the neighborhood. The location is amazing and just far enough from the main square to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. I can’t say enough good things about my stay at her apartment and I would highly recommend it!

• Reviewer: Qiushi

  Comments: Ceylan is a very nice host. When I arrived at the area I got lost.She went to my point to pick me up. The apartment is located at the very central place of Istanbul, near to public transport, as well as the shuttle bus collecting point to both airports. The room is clean and cozy. I recommend this apartment to short stay tourists.

• Reviewer: Sliman

  Comments: Perfect accommodation, clean , calm , spacious , beautiful furnishing , etc. Ceylan is a perfect host. She's waiting me at the flat. She gave me all informations to find easily the accommodation... Thanks for all.

• Reviewer: Meijing

  Comments: It was an amazing trip in Istanbul in Ceylan's house, Ceylan is sooooo kind, and the house is quite clean and comfortable. The location of the house is awesome, located near the Taksim square, which is very easy to travel in the city. I have an unforgettable trip in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: The listing was perfect and Ceylan was a great host. While I only stayed for about 12 hours, she made me feel at home, gave me an extra key to come and go freely and provided everything I needed. And the location was great! Easy 5 minute walk to the airport shuttle for my early morning flight. If I find myself in Istanbul again, I will definitely stay again!

• Reviewer: Abhishek

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host! She communicated with me throughout before I arrived in Turkey and tried to make my short stay with her entertaining. Despite my unfortunate taxi experience in Istanbul, she tried to make up for it by taking me out to Taksim Square and showing me the sights! Her downtown apartment is clean and cozy, would definitely recommend staying with her during your visit!

• Reviewer: Yousef

  Comments: Ceylan was a kind and friendly host, the home is located very close to the Metro and tons of restaurants and (if it's your thing) bars and clubs. The room was a bit small but beyond that I had a great stay.

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: I booked my nice and cozy room on a short notice and Ceylan welcomed me with open arms and a warming smile!! I had everything I needed and she made me feel very comfortable. Although we just met on a short base I can say, I would book my room at her nice place again. Thumbs up!!

• Reviewer: Haytham

  Comments: I stayed three days in Ceylan flats (1 day in Shisli + 2 days in Taksim). Ceylan was so nice and she tried to contact me two days before to make sure I use the right transportation to get there. Also she helped me to make my visit plans in Istanbul (where to go and so). Both flats were clean and have beautiful decoration. Taksim flat is very close to Taksim Square, Istiklal st and the metro station (where you can come directly from the airport) I highly recommend everyone to stay here.

• Reviewer: Hassan

  Comments: The place is well located, it took me one hour to arrive from the airport. Cyelan was so helpful she gave me maps of Istanbul, shared her coffee/tea/ cereals for breakfast. The internet is good, the place is neat and clean. The room is a bit small but do the purpose. Ceylan provided clean sheets and towels also. So really better of some the hotel where I stayed.

• Reviewer: Ekaterina

  Comments: I've enjoyed staying at Ceylan's place. She gave a very quick respond to my request, within 2 minutes, which was especially important coz i sent a last minute request and needed an accommodation for the upcoming night. The location was very convinient, the room nice, clean and light. Ceylan is very friendly and gave me recommendations about the area and transportation.

• Reviewer: Lauren

  Comments: I had a great stay at Ceylon's place. She proved to be both a warm and friendly person. The apartment is situated in a really central area around Taksim which is an excellent base to have while first in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Emin

  Comments: I stayed one month in Ceylan flat. Location was in city centre and public transport are so close. This place is clean and have beautiful decoration. In addition Wifi connection is fast. She's warm and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable. If you want to stay in the centre of Istanbul and want live the local experience, I really recommend this place !!!

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: The place is close to the Taksim Square. Really easy to access major transportation. The room is cozy and comfortable. The host is simply super as you can tell from more than 200 positive reviews. I miss her and I'll definitely go bother her again next time I'm in Istanbul!

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: This place/host are exactly why I stay at Airbnbs. Great location, nice conversation. Highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Raad

  Comments: Ceylan was fantastic and very accommodating. Although I was set to check-in to her apartment during her work hours, she made arrangements so that I could pick up the keys at a locker very close to the apartment. I only got a chance to have a brief conversation with Ceylan but she was very welcoming and courteous. If you follow her instructions, the location is easy to find, and is about 8 minutes walk to Taksim square and Istiklal avenue.

• Reviewer: Nils

  Comments: I had a great 24 hours Istanbul experience. Thanks a lot!

• Reviewer: Isabelle

  Comments: Ceylan was really hospitable and very friendly. The flat is just as described - the room I was in is small but was perfect for what I needed. The location is great. I recommend it all round.

• Reviewer: Jenn

  Comments: Ceylan was very friendly and welcoming. And very easy to talk to. Within 5 minutes of meeting her, we started to talk about Turkey and the current political and social situation. The room was nice and just as described. It was right next to the bathroom but I didn't hear any noise. Her apartment was a little confusing to find but once you find it, you realize it's not that hard to get. It's in a nice quiet location yet very close to Taksim Square and Istiklal St. I was surprised how close it was. Check in and check out times were flexible, despite me landing in Istanbul very late. I really appreciated that. The room was clean and had a dresser and a coat hanger. If I ever need a place to stay in Istanbul, I will be going back to Ceylan's place again!

• Reviewer: Marta

  Comments: Ceylan was a wonderful host, the apartment was clean and exactly as described. A nice way to see the surrounding area of Taksim, and not difficult to get into the old city, though is a bit of a walk. Highly recommend!!

• Reviewer: Manon

  Comments: Ceylan a été une hôte extrêmement agréable et accueillante. Malheureusement je ne suis restée chez elle qu'une seule nuit, mais elle m'a attendu jusque tard dans la soirée pour faire ma connaissance, me donner les clés, me faire faire le tour de l'appartement et me proposer des guides et autres cartes pour mes visites du lendemain. J’étais vraiment contente qu'elle me recommande des petits restaurants hyper typiques, que je n'avais vu dans aucun de mes guides! De plus, pour moi qui adore marcher, la location de l'appartement - a 2 minutes de Taksim - était parfaite pour visiter tout Istanbul en se baladant. L'appartement de Ceylan ressemble exactement a ses photos: il est très beau, épuré, et lumineux. Le bonheur, ça a été de pouvoir prendre un thé et fumer une cigarette sur sa terrasse au soleil le matin. La chambre était très bien aussi, très cosy! Et très important: le lit était confortable et j'ai très très bien dormi chez Ceylan. La situation de l'appartement Comme je le disais a Ceylan, mon séjour chez elle a vraiment représenté tout ce que j'attends de AirBNB: de belles rencontres et un moyen de découvrir de nouvelles villes différemment. Je recommande chaudement l’appartement de Ceylan, qui je dois le préciser est a un prix très raisonnable par rapport a sa location et son confort.

• Reviewer: Colemann

  Comments: I only started in Istanbul for one night at Celan's apartment, but she was an amazing host! I rented a car (I wouldn't recommend that), so Ceylan checked in on me later in the week too make sure my road trip was going well. She also recommended several areas in Istanbul to eat, shop, and visit.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: I loved my stay in Taksim and my experience with Ceylan (note: your pronounce her name Jay-lahn... the 'c' is pronounced as a 'j' in Turkish). She is flexible with your check-in times, as she understands people are traveling from all over the world and their flight gets in at odd hours. She's a great communicator. She has very precise instructions on how to get to her flat so you won't get lost! Very easy to follow. My one piece of advice is that you pack light. Her flat in Taksim is on the 3rd floor (in American minds that means the 4th floor, as the ground floor is ground zero). Anyway, there is no elevator and I had just been traveling from somewhere else and had a huge and heavy suitcase with me. PACK LIGHT. That is my big advice for everyone. Additionally, this flat is a perfect location. It's so unbelievably close to Taksim Square, Istiklal Cadessi (big shopping street with DELICIOUS restaurants), and public transportation is a breeze. Go ahead and book here. No regrets!!

• Reviewer: Sanchit

  Comments: ceylan is an excellent host, she is very helpful, perfect place to stay in istanbul , major areas well collected.

• Reviewer: Dave

  Comments: Great spot in heart of Taksim! Everything was very simple and easy. Would recommend this place to anyone, especially those on a quick layover.

• Reviewer: Eunju

  Comments: hello i stay 6th-9th May. This home is very comfortable. but top floor was difficult to move luggage. 집은 편안하고 너무 안락하고 좋았었다. 비도 왔었고 아침저녁으론 쌀쌀했는데 라디에이터 작동이 안됬는데도 불구하고 춥지는 않았다. 이불이 도톰한게 편하고 좋았다.

• Reviewer: Johnny

  Comments: Ceylan was very accommodating and helpful. She was very nice and patient to wait for me while I was stuck in traffic from the airport. The room was cosy, would definitely stay again

• Reviewer: Gwyn

  Comments: Ceylan manage to leave the key for collection as i arrived in Taksim early. She is really helpful and arrange my smooth arrival! The location is perfect, close to Taksim and accessible to Metro. Though i didnt see much of Ceylan which is a pity (because of my busy schedule) she is really lovely and really help me with my question. Highly recommended. My first airbnb is awesome.

• Reviewer: Glenda

  Comments: Ceylan is very friendly and helpful. The room and apartment are clean and as described. It was good to have plenty of power points and a set of drawers to store items. I enjoyed my stay. Istanbul is an inspirational amazing place.

• Reviewer: Saunya

  Comments: Ceylon was very helpful with providing directions and recommendations for thing to see and do. The listing was exactly as described.

• Reviewer: Ulrike

  Comments: Unfortunately we didn't met us, but the conversation was great and fast. Flat was like in the pictures. I can recommend it.

• Reviewer: Chufan

  Comments: It's very enjoyable to stay at Ceylan's place. She's been really helpful and responsible. Her place is very close to taksim square. About 15 mins walk to shuttle bus to airport. Only one thing, Ceylan's place is on top floor of the building and without elevator. If anyone has a large luggage, please make sure it's easy to lift it.

• Reviewer: Jacinta

  Comments: Ceylan is such lovely sweet host who makes you feel really comfortable straight away! Staying there felt like home and I think this was perfect for my first time in istanbul :)

• Reviewer: Frederick

  Comments: Ceylan is a friedly, polite and very helpful person! Despite short term booking, she gave me an excellent description of how to find her appartment and helped me with information on public transport for the next days. The appartment is a very nice place in the city center just like the pictures suggest! I can absolutely recommend staying there.

• Reviewer: He

  Comments: Ceylan is so helpful and kind. I had a great time during my stay in her place. It's a pity that we couldn't spend more time together because my tight schedule. Anyway, hope we can meet again in the future. And sorry for the broken lamp. Have a great life, Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Faysal

  Comments: I didn't get a chance to stay in Ceylan's apartment, but I met with her and she was kind and courteous. She showed me the apartment. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.

• Reviewer: Ruohan

  Comments: It was a really nice property! Clean and very conveniently located in the centre of the city, but still nice and quiet at night. Ceylan was a nice owner, very welcoming and helpful.

• Reviewer: Marissa

  Comments: Super nice! Very good location and easy to find!

• Reviewer: Gaby

  Comments: The apartment has a fantastic location, you are really close to everything from there. Celyan was a great host and super flexible to cover my needs as a traveler. would definitely stay again with her when I come back to Istambul

• Reviewer: Xiaojing

  Comments: Cozy house with great location. Ceylan is nice and easy-going. Recommend

• Reviewer: Barbara

  Comments: Ceylan was very accommodating with my arrival time. I love food and she was very helpful in suggesting some local foods to try. Her home was very comfortable and within easy access to everything. If I'm ever in Istanbul again, I'll be sure to book again.

• Reviewer: Charles

  Comments: Excellent place to stay, with a great host.

• Reviewer: Lyndsay

  Comments: Ceylan was a wonderful host--her apartment is in a building with a lot of character, close to Taksim square, but far enough away that it's a quiet and peaceful street. I had a little trouble finding the exact building, but Ceylan came down and met me on the street. She provided a comfortable and clean space with everything I needed. The only minor downfall is that sometimes other guests staying at the apartment might not be respectful of other traveler's schedules--not at all a fault of Ceylan's, just something to be aware of if you have a 6 a.m. bus to catch! Overall highly recommended and would stay again :) thank you Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Bobby

  Comments: Ceylan is a lovely host. She waited for me outside and aided me in finding her place after I was lost. She showed me around and made me feel very welcomed. Thanks for everything! Shame I had such a short stay. Till next time :)

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: I had a great time staying at Ceylan's. She was so friendly and helpful with everything and made me feel completely welcome and at home there. The apartment looks just like the pictures and is in a great location. I loved staying there and if I return to Istanbul I would definitely go back. I highly recommend her place!!

• Reviewer: Lynan

  Comments: Ceylan was very helpful in getting me the specific directions I needed. The apartment is a great location, right off of Taksim square (the walk from the Havantas shuttle wasn't bad, but difficult in the heat with my bags and stairs...). Quiet neighborhood off the main busy streets, and not close to a mosque for the calls to prayer. Really cute street with horsedrawn carriage vegetable cart! The apartment is beautiful, shared space is great, fast wifi (mostly in the living room, not as good in the bedroom with the door shut). The kitchen was great for cooking things and she has a easy to use washer always a must for travelers! The room was fine, bed was comfy, albeit quite hot. The airconditioner is in the living room, so to keep the room cool when I slept, I needed my door wide open. In the summer months, the a/c is a must. Ceylan didn't stay in the apartment while I was there, there were other airbnb guests in the other rooms. But they were nice.

• Reviewer: Micah

  Comments: I had a nice time staying at Ceylan's flat. It's conveniently located just off of Taksim square. Ceylan was a friendly and helpful host and she also keeps lots of useful information about Istanbul inside the apartment. She responded promptly to my messages whenever I had a question. There were more guests staying in the other rooms than I expected, which was not a problem except that it could take awhile to wait for access to the shower/bathroom sometimes. I would recommend this room to solo travelers looking for an affordable, convenient place to stay in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Ruoying

  Comments: It's perfect for those who r traveling on their own!Its an apartment with clean rooms and quiet neighborhood.Instructions given by Ceylan is very clear so I managed to find the place without additional assistance.Thank u Ceylan!I will definitely consider staying there if I visit Istanbul again.

• Reviewer: Fumiaki

  Comments: The apartment is clean, and very well located close to Taksim Square, metro, and tramway access. WiFi works well. Ceylan is very helpful about local restaurants, attractions, etc. I loved both the kebab restaurant she recommended, and the Turkish bath she pointed me to. Thank you Ceylan, for all your local knowledge! Ceylan is very friendly, and met me at the apartment on my arrival as planned, and made everything easy for me. The only air conditioning is in the living room, so travelers should be aware that it may be hot in the evenings in their bedrooms. Otherwise, the apartment itself is fantastic. Ceylan herself did not stay at the apartment. Instead, the other rooms also had foreign travelers. It worked out well for me as some of the other travelers and I ended up doing some things together. Ceylan is inconsistent in responding to messages. Sometimes she responds within seconds via text; other times, prior to my arrival, as I was trying to work out details of arrival, I went an entire week and several messages before she got back to me. That is the only issue I had with Ceylan. I would recommend this listing to others, and stay here again if I go back to Istanbul!

• Reviewer: Christopher

  Comments: Ceylan was very accommodating with my ever-changing travel plans. I even canceled on her once, then changed my mind and she was very flexible with it. The apartment is (as you may have seen in the comments already) just as depicted, and it beat by far staying in the airport. This was my first Airbnb experience and I am quite pleased with it.

• Reviewer: Jon

  Comments: The location is very good, close to the metro, cafes and nightlife. The room is very small but cozy. There is a convenience store right next to the building which is very useful. I may be wrong but i couldn't find AC in the room, although there is AC in the unit. The bathroom has the essentials but the apartment itself feels like a step up from a hostel so it can be a little dirty. Overall if luxury isn't what you're after the location and price are right and the host is very helpful.

• Reviewer: Ouwen

  Comments: Ceylan's place is just 5 mins away from Taksim square with a uphill walk. She stayed late to welcome me and we had a very nice chat. Although my stay was just one night, the cozy flat felt like home and I enjoyed every bit of my stay.

• Reviewer: Val

  Comments: I think the location is great! It's a bustling area day and night with plenty of bars, coffee shops, and restaurants in walking distance 5-10 min. Ceylan is a perfect host! She is helpful, hospitable, and very intelligent and help me to understand the culture better as well as other tourist cities in Turkey.

• Reviewer: Feyrouze

  Comments: Nice place in a safe area, 3min from the city center. Ceylan is a very welcoming host.

• Reviewer: Nigarita

  Comments: My stay at Ceylan's place was a great experience. Apartment is located near the metro Taksim and is easily found if you follow the directions given by owner. If you are traveling with a big suitcase be prepared for a little step exercise, is on the top floor. Apt is nice, clean and cozy, building itself is located in a pretty quiet neighbourhood. Comfortable kitchen and nice bathroom. 4 days out of my 6 days trip were amazingly hot and humid so having air conditioner in the main/dining room was a really really nice. I have followed few advices / directions given by Ceylan and it was really helpful. She is neat, punctual and great at communication

• Reviewer: Liv

  Comments: This is one of the few airbnb's I have stayed at where the images accurately show the space. Ceylan' apartment is clean and spacious. The price is excellent considering the central location in the city. Ceylan herself is on a whole other level as a host, she is kind, incredibly helpful and great fun. I can't think of a single thing to fault about this listing.

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: The flat has a great location, close to Taksim square and all need is just a few steps away. Unfortunately I didn't meet Ceylan in person, but she was always accessible by phone. Cost/performance ratio was really good, I just can recommend this place if you want to explore Istanbul!

• Reviewer: Theo

  Comments: It was very easy staying with Ceylan. The apartment is well located (close to Taksim), clean, and has all necessary amenities. Ceylan is helpful when it comes to getting around the city, recommendations for places to go, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Philipp

  Comments: Ceylan is a great host and her flat is awsome. It's at superb location, equipped with everything you need and feels like a second home you can relax in after an adventurous day in Istanbul. Since the flat has multiple rooms, you'll have the chance to meet other travellers from around the world! I highly recommend staying at Ceylan's place!

• Reviewer: Stacia

  Comments: I had a great experience at Ceylan's apartment. She was very communicative prior to my arrival and provided detailed instructions on how to get there. I arrived late and she waited up for me. Her apartment was tidy and a short walk Taksim Square. Thank you, Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Scarlet

  Comments: Ceylan is definitely a great host and genuine friend. Her apartment is clean and tidy, quite close to Taksim. She helped me when there was a problem with the window and conversation with her is delightful as well!

• Reviewer: Charlène

  Comments: Le logement était vraiment fidèle au photos, très joli et bien entretenu. Les espaces sont grand et clair et très propre. Ceylan, à été très accueillante et à même pris contact avec le taxi pour lui indiquer l'adresse. Des cartes de la ville étaient à disposition pour consultation. Je recommande vivement l'adresse de Ceylan ! Super expérience :)

• Reviewer: Hassan

  Comments: That was my first experience with airbnb and It was perfect with Ceylan place. Ceylan is the perfect host I ever meet , the location was great apartment is clean quite and near to public transportation . you can find any thing you need all equipment available to use . I would like to stay a gain here if I came to Istanbul in future . I recommend Ceylan house to stay at Istanbul :)

• Reviewer: Tilman

  Comments: Ceylan is a perfect host. Communication with her was really good, she was flexible in the timing of the check-in, gave me very good istructions how to get to her place and also very good recommendations what is worth seeing in Istanbul. She was very welcoming and friendly. The flat was close to Taksim and to other Metro stations, although really central it was not to loud, and it looked exactly as on the pictures and everything could be found as described. The one bed room was quite small, but I knew that in advance and as I was almost only there for sleeping, it did not bother me too much. I stayed for one week but Ceylan did not stay in the flat overnight very often. In some nights I shared the flat with other guests in the other room, some of them I hardly met, with others I had nice talks. Most nights I was just on my own. If you do not expect a super, super luxury 4-star hotel and are not afraid of sharing a flat with other tourists, than I can recommend for you to stay here. It is a good place to be!

• Reviewer: Qingyang

  Comments: 这是一次不错的住宿体验,房子离塔克西姆广场和独立大街都很近,交通方便｡因为晚上的航班,到达时已是凌晨一点多,房东不但一直等我,在身体不适的情况下还帮我抬行李,非常感谢!

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: Ceylan is a very thoughtful and considerate host. Her place is very close to Taksim Square and a 10min walk to the water. Safe. Clean. Comfortable. Will stay here again the next time I visit Istanbul. Wonderful city.

• Reviewer: Ethel

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host. She was very interactive with her guests. The location is fantastic right near Istiklal Street and very near the Taksim metro. The location is not good for those who may have mobility problems as it is down a steep road, and then up a steep road again to get to the apartment. But if you have no issues with that, then this is fine. The room was small but good enough for a solo traveler like I was.

• Reviewer: Matthew

  Comments: Ceylan is a great host! She is very welcoming, friendly and lovely to chat with. The apartment is in a great location and very clean. I highly recommend anyone to stay here. I will if I return to Istanbul. Thank you Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Ned

  Comments: Ceylan was really sweet and welcoming. I was only in Istanbul overnight, but having an enthusiastic host and comfortable room in the center of town made it possible to see much more of the city than I expected to. Ceylan actively got in touch and sent maps and photos to make it easy to find her apartment, and made herself available to help me and her other guests get in. She greeted me with tea and friendly conversation, gave me helpful advice for my short time in town, and generally made me feel at home even for such a short stay. Ceylan is a brilliant host, and I highly recommend her listing.

  Comments: To Stay with Ceylan was defintily the best idea! The flat is compact, easy and gives you everything you need. And Ceylan is just the perfect host, she told me about everything I wanted to know and even took us to many places like local Restaurants, whenever she had some free time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Manu

  Comments: Ceylan it's a good host.... the neborhood it's on a central touristique place. .. and close To the bosforus and the big Street market. .... you can find every thing's you need... it's was perfect...... :)

• Reviewer: Mohinder

  Comments: Ceylan's home in Taksim is a great location and accessible easily via Metro. Istiklal street nearby is a great area with lot of restaurants and cafes. Ceylan is a great host and helped a great deal with going around in Istanbul. Would definitely recommend staying here!

• Reviewer: Bryan

  Comments: My stay with Ceylan was great! Ceylan made me feel welcomed by meeting me at the apartment and then showing me everything I needed to know. Communication was excellent and she helped me figure out which bus to take from the airport. I really liked staying here because I felt at home - Ceylan even invited me to have dinner on Christmas, so it was nice to cook and share a meal at home. The neighborhood is excellent - in a minute you are in Taksim Square with lots of coffeeshops and restaurants. There is a main road nearby with retail shopping, and nightlife is close by as well. There are also small markets close by for convenience or food items, with a bigger market a short walk away. The listing is accurate. The apartment is heated with individual controls in each room so it's always nice and warm, and everything is orderly and cleanly. At night it is quiet for a peaceful sleep. Thanks again Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Adam

  Comments: Ceylan is probably the sweetest person in all of Turkey. She was very nice, smart, helpful both with personal things as well as finding things to do and surviving the city. Her place has multiple rooms and the entire time I was there multiple people came and went so was able to meet others the original AirBNB way. Highly recommend her place while in Istanbul

• Reviewer: André

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host, very kind and helpful. She gave me some tips and advices about the city and she has many guides and maps of Istanbul wich helps a lot. I hope I can return soon.

• Reviewer: Alibek

  Comments: Secluded in a tranquil, residential quarter a short walk from Taksim Square, the apartment fits description -- itself being clean and simply but tastefully decorated. While I didn't get to spend much time with Ceylan, she was helpful, polite and responsive both on (Hidden by Airbnb) and in person. All in all, it's a nice place worth recommending to friends.

• Reviewer: Ling

  Comments: Ceylan is a very nice person and the Apartment is in one of the best local in Istanbul, near to the subway, bus and the Bus direct to both airport. 5 Minutes you are the favorite walking street full with Restaurants, teahouse, bars, shops...... highly suggest you to book her room !

• Reviewer: Yutai

  Comments: Ceylan is a warm and welcoming host, very friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and perfect for a lone traveller like myself. It was a great experience!

• Reviewer: Anna

  Comments: I feel like there's not enough positive things I can say about my stay at Ceylan's apartment. First of all, the apartment is very well located - central, but in a quiet neighborhood at the same time. The apartment is really comfortable, cozy and clean. Also, Ceylan was a great host who made my stay really easy and helped with anything I needed. If you travel to Istanbul, I really recommend to stay at Ceylan's place, you will be glad you did! : )

  Comments: I stayed 12 days in Istanbul and when I'll be coming again I will stay at Ceylan's apartment for sure. The place is clean, Ceylan is always there if needed and the apartment is located near to many shops and touristic attractions. I definitely recommend Ceylan's apartment to anyone out there looking for a place to stay in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Jose Maria

  Comments: Ceylan is very attentive and helpful! Made it veeeery easy to find the apartment (with pics and everything) , had loads of maps, tips and advices about where to go, what to do and what to avoid. The place is cozy and unfortunately I stayed there only 1 night, I would have stayed longer without a doubt! Thanks Ceylan!!

• Reviewer: John

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host who was very flexible and generous. She adapted to my delayed flight to ensure that I got the keys to the apartment. The place is exactly as described and is very centrally located, but just far off the main streets so it is very quiet. A great place in Istanbul.

• Reviewer: Kai

  Comments: The apartment is modern and in good condition. Ceylan is nice and generous. It's a pity I was staying only two nights, so we had no chance to talk nothing more but when she welcomed me warmly. The apartment is perfectly located for seeing the city. In one direction you get to taksim where the airport buses are stopping, in the other direction you get to the tram line which goes directly to Sultanahmet without requiring you to change lines! --- I had a little bit trouble finding the apartment at night, but if you know where to go it is actually just a few minutes straight from taksim. The problem is that it is sometimes hard to spot the street names, so make sure to bring turn-by-turn directions starting from taksim.

• Reviewer: Boris

  Comments: Stayed there for one night. Place is nicely located just a few blocks from Taksim square and is easy to find. Flat has everything you need in it and is clean. Calm and silent at night. Ceylan is very kind, intelligent and helpful person with very positive attitude. I definitely recommend both host and the place. Thank you Ceylan!

• Reviewer: Anubhav

  Comments: Ceylan is an extremely warm host who is genuinely focussed on creating a great experience. Since the time of booking, I had been in touch with her and she provided detailed instructions on directions and travel to make my solo travel comfortable and predictable. The listing details were accurate and the neighbourhood is located right close to Taksin Square and all public transportation. Highly recommend her place as the best value for money!

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: Had a great time at Ceylan's flat. A great location this is incredibly easy to access from the airport and even better for exploring the sights of Istanbul. She was a great host that answered all my questions and was accessible as needed. Flat is super cozy and offers all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay again when returning.

• Reviewer: Paul

  Comments: The room was as described and very clean and comfortable, as well as the rest of the apartment. I did not meet Ceylon because she was out of town when I arrived, however, a friend of hers welcomed me and was wonderful in her explanations of the house as well as things to see and do in Istanbul. The location was great. About a 20 minute walk to the bus stop for the both airports. And a 10 minute walk to Taksim Square. I really enjoyed my three night stay in Ceylon's home.

• Reviewer: Laurent

  Comments: Ceylan is a very nice and welcoming host, that was a real pleasure to meet her. It's apartment is in a very good location in a quiet street near to Taksim square hotel, to a lot of lively streets and to the airport shuttles. I would recommend it for every young lone traveller.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Ceylan is incredibly nice. I was in her apartment on the night on the coup and she warned me and checked in repeatedly to make sure I was okay. It was kind and caring. Above and beyond the Airbnb terms of agreement :) Her communication before tn trip was excellent. Everything was nice and clean. The apartment is nice and as described. Like a lot of Airbnb places it is up stairs - on the 3rd floor, so worth a thought for elderly or disabled travellers. It is very well located for taksim and Istanbul which is still one of my favourite cities in the world.

• Reviewer: Huseyin

  Comments: I locked myself out by accident. When the key is in the lock inside, there is no way that anyone can open the door from outside. So the other occupant who was extremely nice by the way, was stuck because of this incident. Everyone was very nice and understanding. Ceylan called a locksmith to open the door and I arrived at the apartment just before the locksmith arrived and I've paid for the cost. Ceylan is a wonderful person! Thanks Ceylan, you have made me feel right at home.

He flat is located in a very central place few minutes to Taksim Square. And very easy to get to old city. The flat is clean and spacious. I recommend her to everyone.

• Reviewer: Hoon

  Comments: Ben 7 gün kaldım o çok güzel evdir. Taksim meydanından yürüyerek takriben 5 dakika sürüyor. Evnin önünde bir gida var, orada kolayca şeyler alabilirsiniz. It was so great to stay there and I met two guys from different country. It's really easy to get to Taksim square and have some fun out there Ceylan was so nice and she let us use everything in that house. I used to smoke at the balcony which is the only place you can smoke. For few days trip, it's quite nice place to stay

• Reviewer: Tony

  Comments: Ceylan's place is very convenient to Taksim, and she was a helpful host. I would recommend her place to others.

• Reviewer: Justin

  Comments: Great location. So close to public transport, shopping,restaurants and all other Istanbul activities. Hotel 2 min walk away for pickup if you book a tour or airport transfer. Ceylan is an easygoing person and great to talk too. My plane was delayed and I couldnt contact her so got in late. She was up waiting and made me feel right at home. Clean apartment, comfortable bed and plenty of brochures, lonely planet guides and metro timetable to make the most of your trip.

• Reviewer: Jennifer

I had a nice experience in Istanbul, it was quite good to stay so close to Taksim square. Flat is nice, everything was ok! :-) Take care and see you once for sure !

• Reviewer: Begüm

  Comments: The flat is located in Taksim area which is one the most central location in Istanbul without any doubt. That also means that, you can come across any type of people around the vicinity ranging from tourists to locals as well as unfortunately the refugees that live on the street. When I first got there, as i only put the street name without the door number on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps, i went through multiple streets that looked dodgy to the eye with many homeless refugees around. Do not make the same mistake i made, as i got lost in those streets and started freaking out. Put the building number as well while trying to find the flat and you will see it is located right below the main road (Gumussuyu) next to five star hotels. The proximity of the flat to the transport links dazzled me once i went out to discover the vicinity. The restaurants, bars, shops, everything is within 10 min walk tops. I stayed in the smallest room in Ceylan's flat and it was good for one night stay. However if you have a massive suitcase, i would strongly advise you to book one of the larger ones, i have seen them, quite beautifully decorated and spacious, as you may not fit your suitcase in the tiny room. Ceylan was great, literally went out of her way to get me the keys, postponing her plans to meet up with me at a place of my convenience. Strongly advise anyone to have a decent and economical stay in Istanbul, better than staying at hotels especially if you dont want to constrict yourself in a room and feel the comfort of home:))

• Reviewer: Mohamed

  Comments: Everything as described, Ceylan is very good, honest and helpful person .. The place is so near to Taksim square and safe, I would like to visit her again. Thanks Ceylan for hosting.

• Reviewer: Cihan

  Comments: Overall : I would not stay here again. The good: It is a nicely decorated clean flat in a central location. Ceylan is a nice person. The bad: The mattress was very uncomfortable. You can easily feel the metal frame and the springs even when you touch it with your hands. Imagine sleeping on it. Actually I preferred sleeping on the floor with my camping mat and it was better. Ceylan is not living in this house nor did she stopped by or checked/messaged if everything was ok. During my 3 day stay she only communicated me on the checkout day and asked me what time I was leaving. The ugly: There were 2 other guys in the house which both were noisy and very unfriendly towards me. Ceylan told me about them but did not introduced us. Since they would not talk to me I do not know their history but It looked like nobody took their consent about airbnb and they were not happy about it. So beware, if you stay here you might get stuck with 2 guys who barely tolerates you

• Reviewer: Rudrava

  Comments: Ceylan's apartment is in the heart of the new district. It's conveniently in between Findikli and Taksim square, so there's easy access to the metro and the tram. This works better than being closer to Taksim where you can only get the metro, which doesn't go directly to the old town. Using the tram you can get to Sultanahmet in 15 minutes. The apartment is also a brief walk from lively Istiklal street and all the food of Asmali Mescit. There is excellent nightlife in those areas. While I was there, I used one room and the other two rooms also had visitors. So the atmosphere in the apartment was very much like a small hostel. There is ample space in the living room for people to hang out. There's a small kitchen but I stayed for only a few days so didn't get to use it. The bathroom is shared between everyone. One thing to note in that it's an old building so there are no elevators and the apartment is on the third floor.

• Reviewer: Adeel

  Comments: Overall experience was great. The location adds the best feel. 4 to 5 minutes walk to Taksim square and Istiklal street.The host was extremely nice. She was courteous enough to arrange for my check-in 8 hours before the scheduled check-in time (which was 6pm), as my flight landed in the morning (9am). She spoke with the taxi driver to let him know of the directions. She came in to contact via (Hidden by Airbnb) to understand my travel plan and was kind enough to propose if I would like to check-in early so can pay a visit at the work place and collect the keys which I did. Unfortunately we couldnt meet after that due to mismatch of schedule but we exchanged a courteous note.

The apartment looks exactly the same as in the pictures. She is very friendly and helpful. She is literally an amazing and a super host :).

• Reviewer: Diaa

  Comments: Ceylan's spare room is a good fit for a solo traveler who wants to be out and about. The room is small but tidy and equipped with a comfy bed. It's up three floors so you want to be a light traveler. The house was clean when I arrived and Ceylan was very helpful about everything and was a clear communicator. Because she works, the check in is late afternoon but there are so many lovely cafes and places to walk about, so I didn't mind at all. Ceylan is also respectful of space and has lots of good tips on things to do Ist. Worth it to stay here.

• Reviewer: Irene

• Reviewer: Ksenia

  Comments: I liked this place! It's really close to the Taksim square from where you can travel to the airport on a comfortable bus, close to the center. If you like walking, you can go to the Sultanahmet without using public transport, as I did. But the bus / metro stops are also close to the apartment. The neighborhood is quiet, the room is small but cozy and had everything I needed. And Ceylan is very friendly host, I liked talking to her, though it was only 1 night. Nice place to stay!

• Reviewer: Xiaomei

  Comments: Great location, great hostess

• Reviewer: Khaled

  Comments: After staying at Ceylan's house, I understand what does super host mean. Basically, the house will give you the impression of being a Turkish resident. It is quite, have a grocery store in front of it, on a hill and will get you to tram, metro or bus if you want. Istiklal street where all the fun and activities goes is 6-7 min Max by foot. And Ceylan is so kind to give you any tips or information you need so quickly by asking her on (Hidden by Airbnb) . She will give the exact direction by sending some photos to your phone. Finally, there is more than one room that the apartment has and during my stay I met couple of amazing people to explore Istanbul. You might have this case if it is high season. The house is very recommended for light traveler whom want use then place only for crash. FYI, the letter C is pronounced more of J. Hence, the host name is Jeylan.

• Reviewer: Marco

  Comments: The room was as in the picture: a bit small, but that's not much of a problem since you can hang out in the living room. Ceylan was helpful and responsive with me and the other guests staying in the apartment. The location is great, near Taksim but quiet.

• Reviewer: Bahar

  Comments: Ceylan ist eine tolle Frau. Durch ihre exakte Wegbeschreibung samt Fotos habe ich ihre Wohnung auf Anhieb gefunden. Wer aber mit viel Gepäck kommt sollte gewappnet sein, die Wohnung ist im obersten Stockwerk ohne Aufzug. Ceylan war bei meiner Ankunft nicht persönlich da, eine Freundin von ihr hat den Check in übernommen, auch ceylan stand mir per (Hidden by Airbnb) jederzeit zur Verfügung. Die Lage ist top, die Nachbarschaft sehr sicher, weshalb ich als Frau auch um späterer Uhrzeit keine Sorgen machen musste. Ceylan ist eine sehr offene und herzliche Person. Habe mich wohl in ihrer Wohnung gefühlt.

• Reviewer: Luke

  Comments: Ceylan was a great host! She was helpful with directions from the airport and game me a great suggestion for an awesome bus that was 1/10 the cost of the taxi and took the same amount of time. She greated me upon my arrival, which was pretty late by the way and even let me come out to meet her friends as it was my only night in Istanbul and I didn't know anyone. The only minor drawback of the whole experience was the lack of AC in my room as it gets really hot in Istanbul in mid summer. However the living room has an AC and I was provided a fan. Would absolutely recommend for younger people or anyone with a youthful spirit.

Ceylan was very helpful and also gave awesome food suggestions nearby, so good that I went back to a breakfast spot twice during my 4 day stay in Istanbul!

  Comments: He puesto 4 estrellas porque Ceylán fue muy amable y atenta, pero hubieron algunos pequeños detalles que no me gustaron: Al baño le hacía falta una limpieza más profunda, tal vez porque habían otras huéspedes que lo utilizaban también y pues no siempre estaba tan limpio, pero dentro de lo normal estaba bien. En mi habitación el bote de basura estaba lleno de basura de huéspedes anteriores que no lo habían retirado previamente. En el piso habían pelos y un poco empolvado. Sábanas, cama, velador y todo lo demás si estaba limpio. La ubicación estaba bien, a unos 10 minutos en TRAM del centro, pero era una colina, así que mucha atención aquellos que no tengan buena condición física, pues terminarán exhaustos de la subida al inmueble y después los 4 pisos qué hay que subir para llegar al departamento. El TRAM queda a 7 minutos y metro a 5 minutos. Cosas buenas: Ceylán da un excelente trato Coordina tu llegada muy bien Se asegura que no te falte nada Llegué súper tarde, más de las 2am y se las arregló para mandar a alguien a recibirme.

  Comments: Nice flat in an excellent location — just 2-3 minutes by foot to Taksim Square, sheltered away in a quiet and peaceful part of the neighbourhood. Close to Cihangir and all major attractions in Beyoglu. Decent amenities and cozy rooms that best suit solo travellers who are travelling light. It’s a fantastic place if you’d like to socialize with other travellers! The only downside is that sounds travel quite easily in the apartment — generally, it wasn’t an issue for me. The best thing about this place is Ceylan, whose hospitality and lightning quick responses were a source of comfort. (As an example: when the bathroom light went out in the evening, it took no more than 10-15 minutes for her to have someone come and fix it.) I’d happily recommend her place to others.

  Comments: La ubicación es muy buena, cercano a la vida nocturna de Taksim. No conocí a Ceylan pero siempre estuvo atenta por (Hidden by Airbnb) . Había otros huéspedes que hacían mucho ruido y se escucha todo en la habitación, es cuestión de comentarlo con los otros para que no te molesten si duermes temprano o hasta tarde. Apesar de eso recomiendo el lugar, la casa es muy limpia y ordenada.

  Comments: Nice accommodation in the centre of Istanbul. It’s a nice shared room in an apartment. It’s a little noisy when you open the window. And sometimes other people don’t clean well after them. But it was nice anyway!

  Comments: Ceylan’s place is a great fit for a solo-traveller. Great location and everything that you need to charge your battery for the next day. For an ex-Istanbulite, I’d like to note that the bathroom is exceptionally nice! Ceylan was super quick at responding, solving issues, and answering questions. All in all, it was a great stay for a decent price!
