I live in this apartment for the second time. This means that for the first time we liked everything. Firstly, the apartment is in the old district of Istanbul, and this is not a historical center, where everything has been done for tourists for a long time, this is really a place where locals live.
Yes, you need to get to the historical center, but even in this case there are several options - bus, then metro or tram.
But when you go out on the balcony, you realize that this is the most wonderful place to stay. The old town is at a glance, only the sea is not visible. The view from the window is beautiful both day and night, in any weather.))
The apartment itself: modern apartment/studio. Clean, comfortable and cozy.
At the same time, it is competently divided into zones - hallway, bedroom, living room, kitchen. The two of us are perfect here.
All the appliances are there – a chic TV, stove, coffee machine, hairdryer, microwave, iron, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, plus a lot of lighting options. At our disposal are clean towels, bed linen, blankets in the right quantity.
It's nice to communicate with the host, he helped us a lot on the first day when our flight was delayed and we arrived late at night, fresh fruit, tea and coffee were waiting for us in the room.
The Internet has become better/faster since the last trip.
Yes, there are all shops nearby within 100 meters - supermarkets, bread, alcohol, vegetables and fruits.
Security: the house has a respeshen with a pass system. The police are in the next building.
For fans of the European style, there are several huge shopping centers near the Levent metro station - Canyon, Metrocity, etc.
The owner of the apartment himself is a very friendly person, he will always help and tell you if there are any questions.
In general, I recommend it 100%!
