Please go and find me on bnb to see my over 400+ reviews to get to know me and my service through my guests.
My available rooms are just for short and long term travelers! The apartment is centrally located in Istanbul so you have access to everywhere easily and cheaply. Subway, metrobus, bus, taxi, ferries, Marmaray, bridges are crazy close! But most importantly, the bed is so comfy!
It is a really good deal and comfortable in terms of accomodation prices and services around the city. Also its being central to everywhere comes appealing to my guests.
I designed and decorated this listing to be a nice calming nest and a roomy, spacious apartment which has almost all facilities that is gonna be needed during a trip.
This is actually my new project on Flatio so my new apartment. Thats why this one has not got that many reviews yet like the reviews on my profile. Help me out :)
Just 6 minutes on foot to subway stop!
My bed is queen size bed. You can have a nice night long sleep. Kitchen is all ready to use for cooking or you can just order from outside and eat it in the kitchen. I have AppleTV and to handle => Super Fast 50 MB unlimited internet!

My flat is around 4th Levent, one of transportation hubs of the city, which is a convenient neighborhood approximately 15 minutes subway distance to Taksim Square, 10 minutes subway distance to Nisantası, Sisli, 20 minutes bus distance to Beshiktash(depends on traffic and how you go)(where you can also take ferries to every ferry stop by Bosphorus) the centers of touristic attraction and nightlife in Istanbul.
Direct Maslak Acibadem Hospital connection through metro. You can go there from 4th Levent Metro Station and get off at its Darussafaka station. 4th Levent Metro Station is only 6 minutes away by foot. Its only 5 km far from the apartment if you will go by car.
Easy New Istanbul Airport access. The bus service to new 3rd. Istanbul Airport passes from 5 minutes away from the apartment. The bus service starts from Taxim and passes from 4th Levent(where my apartment is around). Getting on from 4th Levent is more convenient than getting on from Taxim because after Taxim(so many people and car) due to the traffic it takes 45 minutes more to come 4th Levent. So you could use that time to sleep and rest 45 minutes more in the early mornings and late nights. Also not to get stressed due to traffic and missing flights.
A new and my favorite alternative for arriving home after new Istanbul Airport subway finish, you can also come through M11 metroline! You get off at Gayrettepe station and transfer to the M2 green line-Haciosman direction. Get off at “4th” Levent station. This subway is currently working but Gayrettepe station is planned to finish at April 2023. Please check its availability first.
Easy access to the neighborhood. Especially from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. You can come to the neighborhood direcly from Sabiha Gokcen airport by only one express bus called E3. You are gonna get off at its very last stop called 4. Levent Metro. You can check its schedule on Mobiett app.
In addition to easiness and time saving, these easy accesses from airports and couch stations mean that you are only gonna pay at most 15-40 liras to reach your accomodation and your flight at the end of your trip. So you don’t pay something like between 200 and 250 liras only for one way taxi which you are most probably gonna need two ways at least.(arrival-departure)
You are able to eat very cheap here. You can eat 300 grams of chicken breast for around 1.5 dollars and a full portion of rice around 1 dollar which is almost nothing. Of course you can have other food options, you can cook or do grocery. You are not going to have problems with your food budget around my apartment.
If you need free internet in the neighborhood (in case you need before we meet or outside of the apartment) there is free WiFi at Sapphire Shopping Mall. Go in there and get connected!
Sapphire SM has also the tallest skyscraper of the city. It is like the Empire State of Istanbul. You can have a really really vast and amazing view of the city during daylight and during the night. What is more, you can also try the 5D simulation of the most popular touristic places in Istanbul on the top floor. It could be a nice idea for first travelers to the city and not sure about where to go first.

Easy to access to other touristic areas of Istanbul. You can directly take subway to go to Eminönü-Galata Tower-Sultanahmet area through Haliç Subway Stop or Şişhane Stop where historical things are. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar is 25 min. away with subway.
It's also close to Nisantasi, (10 minutes subway) a chic, famous neighborhood for shopping and dining. Volkswagen Arena (concert or other kind of entertainment place of the city), Galatasaray Football Team Stadium and Beşiktaş Football Team Stadium are close.
It takes 15 min by bus to go to the sea coast, Bosphorus and enjoy the nice weather and maybe take the ferry to go to Uskudar, Asian side of the city with a 10 min Istanbul and Bosphorus view, on ferry road. You can also have a cool long Bosphorus tour on boat from Besiktas for example.
Istiklal Street is 15 minutes away by metro.
Canadian Consulate is 10 minutes walk away.
University transportation is easy. Bogazici University, Koc University(takes time but easy), Galatasaray University, Bilgi University, Istanbul Technical University.
Shopping and transportation are really easy in the neighborhood. My neighborhood is very central, safe and there are many small shops restaurants and cafes bars . It is a very lively area but at the same time quiet in our street.
There is a mixture of local life and small tourists population in this neighborhood. Shopping malls around the neighborhood are Sapphire, Kanyon, Ozdilek, Axis and Metrocity. Sapphire is 3 minutes away from the apartment like a store with movie theater on the corner.
It is a safe place.
The flat has 4 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 2,5 bathrooms 1 storage, and 2 terraces. There might be one other guests staying in the other rooms.
It's a newly and plainly decorated, cute and large room. I decorated it as simple as possible in order to give my guests better and mindful living, working and sleeping conditions where they cannot be distracted easily.
The room has a queen bed, computer work friendly table, revolving seat, library, wardrobe and private shower. It takes sunshine & fresh air. If you'd like to stay more people, please ask me.

There were unreasonable rules like not being allowed to wash dishes or use the washing machine after 9 PM because it was “his bedtime” — even though you could clearly hear him watching TV and moving around upstairs until 1 AM. He also claimed guests shouldn’t order food after 10 PM to avoid disturbing neighbors, yet neighbors were active and receiving deliveries well past midnight.
Basic amenities were falsely advertised. The listing mentioned a fan and access to a terrace, neither of which were actually available. I had to buy my own fan and was later told the terrace was off-limits, despite it being written in the house rules that it was allowed. He seems to selectively enforce and change the rules depending on who the guest is.
The kitchen was under-equipped — there were only a couple of usable utensils and at one point we had to share a single fork between two people because the others mysteriously “disappeared.” He also made petty complaints when we used a tiny bit of shared oil, despite us regularly sharing our food with him and each other.
Worse than the pettiness, the host behaved inappropriately. I was meeting with a real estate agent to view apartments (a short-term stay was the only reason I booked this place), and before we left, the agent asked to use the bathroom. After that, the situation took a very uncomfortable turn. I went upstairs visibly distressed and on the verge of a panic attack, hoping Furkan would help or ask the man to leave, but instead, he showed zero empathy and immediately locked all his doors, as if I were the problem.
He also regularly ignored messages and then lied about not having his phone, even though he had an AirPod in and his phone could be heard buzzing nearby under the couch.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Furkan leaves a negative review in retaliation for this, but future renters deserve to know the truth. This listing should not be allowed to remain on Flatio. It’s misleading, restrictive, and feels more like a monitored trap than a welcoming rental. Avoid at all costs.
It’s a decent area, safe family friendly area close to metro to go to nice areas of Istanbul
The park nearby is really nice and lots of good food places near by
