Verda Suites

I stayed with a family member at Verda for 5 nights. I liked the location of the property which is next to taksim square from which you can also walk downhill towards karakoy which is filled with hip cafes and restaurants. I liked the great response from Verda who allowed us to keep the flat for no extra charge until 8 pm since our flight was at night and thus 8 pm was our time to head to the airport (Thankyou so much Verda on my behalf “Linda” and on Ali’s behalf). What was also nice was the fact that we were able to experience Istanbul as locals due to the flat being in an old turkish neighborhood. I must say that the neighborhood was pretty safe which made us feel at ease. The flat is great for solo travelers and up to 2 persons or 3 persons since the bedroom can accomodate 2 people on the bed and one person in the living room, there’s a bed which can be opened and closed once one wakes up.

There’s nothing i didnt like about the property however i must say that the building is old so their is no elevator and the stairs are pretty narrow as well as the walk to Taksim is uphill (Istanbul is known to have many ups and down roads) so im guessing anyone traveling with an old companion should take that into account. The only thing i wished was bigger, was the bathroom.
