Mircea-andrei from Romania (9/10)
The appartment was very close to the blue moschee, it was very clean, we had enough space and the owner and the staff are very nice and friendly people. They waited for us untill 2 AM for check-in and they kept our luggage after check-out, both for no extra charge. They also gave us a lot of extra informations and tips that we found usefull.

The hotel in central Istanbul exceeded expectations. Everything was perfect – cleanliness, comfort, all amenities provided. the small but cozy kitchen, nearby cafes and restaurants. The host shared valuable city tips, and the tram stop nearby was a big plus for easy city exploration. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.
Andrei from Romania (9/10)
The host was very kind and helpful.
They let us do a late check out at 15:00 instead of 12:00, and this was extremely helpful, considering that we travelled with small kids and our flight was later.
The location is good, at walking distance from the main attractions.Fida from Netherlands (8/10)
The location was perfect, almost with 10-20 minutes walking from major attractions like Hagia Sofia, blue mosque, topkapi palace, grand bazaar, emino, sulymani mosque. We didn’t need any public transport for first 3 days. One more thing old city has very steep hills but from this apartment you can avoid very steep climbs.
Rest of the things in the apartment were fine, like kitchen, iron, coffee machine. The host is very responsive, so ask for suggestions and room cleanings as per your requirements.Bradley from Saudi Arabia (9/10)
Great location! A few minutes walking distance from the major sites, but the apartment was quiet. Nice view of the sea.
