This bright private room is part of a spacious duplex in Kurtuluş, an authentic, creative, and centrally located neighborhood filled with cafés, bakeries, vintage shops, markets, and parks. Just a 10-minute walk from Taksim Square and Osmanbey Metro, the apartment is perfectly positioned for exploring the city. Taksim and Beyoğlu’s vibrant LGBTQ+ scene, with queer and queer-friendly bars, clubs, cafés and nightlife, is also just a short walk away, so you can easily combine Istanbul’s must-see sights with its local culture and nightlife. 🚪 The Apartment: A stylish duplex with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one shared), a kitchen, and a cozy living room opening to a terrace with stunning views of central Istanbul (both day and night). 🛏 Your room features: • A comfortable single bed (perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city). • Access to a bright shared bathroom with a shower. • A fully private, calm, clean, and friendly atmosphere. 🏠 Shared spaces include: • A fully equipped kitchen. • Washing machine available. • A cozy living room with terrace access. • A breathtaking city-view terrace (ideal for morning coffee or sunset chats). ☕ Breakfast & Extras: • Start your day the Italian way (breakfast is on the house)!

Unwind, recharge, or share a glass of wine or a story on the terrace as the city lights up below. If you value good vibes, this is your home. The apartment may be shared with another MisterB&B guest.

I had an amazing experience staying at Francesco's Red Room. The room was perfect for me and my large luggage. Francesco, truly a kind and hospitable host who is always ready to provide you with any information regarding the attractions, food, and directions of the city. Surprisingly, he also serves coffee and a croissant for breakfast, which evoke the true Italian experience. I will recommend Francesco's apartment to anyone who wants to stay there without any hesitation.
Perfect stay! Francesco is a warm and attentive host, always thinking about his guests' needs. 10/10
Francesco is a nice and very caring host, I would definitely recomment his place to stay!
This is a quite large flat in the Kurtuluş neighborhood (Şişli district) of Istanbul. Besides the bedroom and bathroom, there is a huge kitchen and a cozy living room available with all amenities. The building is located in an old quarter with countless shops and restaurants just a 10-minute walk away, and the Osmanbey metro station is within a 15-minute stroll. The host, Francesco, is Italian and speaks English and Turkish fluently. He's a super friendly, kind, and helpful guy—it was always a pleasure to chat or hang out with him. Plus, his cat is a total sweetheart! He is extremely cuddly and really made the place feel like home.
I was very lucky to get this room, every aspect about it was very good. Francesco is super lovely, helpful and gentle. Istanbul is nice, I enjoyed my time here but if I will come back to Istanbul again, the only reason will be is to watch a movie with Francesco.
It was such a pleasure staying at Francesco's place. It wasn't just renting a room but being part of such a friendly environment chatting and sharing stories. Francesco was extremely kind and helpful during my stay and communication was excellent at all times. Nice being able to have breakfast in the morning and thanks for being able to do my laundry as well. Good location close to Taksim. I highly recommend.
Francesco is an amazing guy, super welcoming, kind and attentive, I highly recommend you to stay with him. The room was perfect and super clean, I had a good time staying at his place. Grazie Francesco
This was a quick stay in between flights .. knowing where I was going & being welcomed by Francesco's hospitality was great plus .. the morning coffee was appreciated .. hope to visit again !!
Francesco was a great host. He went out of his way to provide me tips while visiting Istanbul, including sights and restaurants. His place is clean and quiet for a good night sleep. He also has an adorable cat named Piso. If/when I return to Istanbul, I would definitely stay at his place.
Francesco is a super kind host that you feel yourself as if talking with your one of your besties from the very beginning. He is helpful and he tries to make your stay as comfortable as he can. He becomes a friend of mine now with whom i laugh a lot.
