Reviews

  • Joshua from United States (9/10)

    We had an amazing time! Staying here felt like having our own apartment, with a full kitchen, living room, and bedroom, but with daily cleaning service and the help of local hosts for any problems that arise. The location was fantastic, with so much to see and do just around the corner. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful, and answered our questions immediately. Would love to stay here again next time we visit Istanbul!

  • Annabel from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Clean, stylish interior. Caretaker was very responsive when we had minor issues and pleasant to interact with.

  • Francisco from India (9/10)

    Location , style

  • Mae from Australia (7/10)

    I think for the location, it was good. It was right in the middle of the tourist area which made it accessible to everything. This is important because we learnt that taxis in Istanbul cheat tourists frequently (even the locals know this) and you should be close to the metro or walkable distance to everything. The staff was exceptional, helped us out with taxis when we realised how difficult they were. The place was a little more run down than we realised when we booked it, but it was clean and safe. Facilities were useable in the apartment. It was a quaint stay.

  • Dmitrii from Serbia (9/10)

    Great location and apartment, our flight was delayed, we checked in after 1am, thank you!

  • Mariia from Russia (9/10)

    The apartment is located on a very quiet street, which is a super bonus for such a central location. Separate bedroom and big sofa in living room allows to fit 4 people. We stayed for 6 days together with parents and never felt any space issues. Kitchen and bathroom are fully equipped and ready to use. Massive kitchen table is perfect for late-night family dinners. We regularly got clean towels, blankets and any other staff we asked for. Cleaning service is extremely polite and professional. We are very grateful for the manager and for cleaning personnel for their care and hospitality!

  • Marijke from United Arab Emirates (9/10)

    Amazing location and great contact with the host, who was always available and offering to help. We would definitely book again!

  • Samuel from South Africa (9/10)

  • Deborah from United Kingdom (8/10)
