We had a fantastic stay, spacious apartment and great neighbourhood. We had a few issues that were very efficiently resolved by Gizem who was a super host. Good communication by Gizem who was always available by WhatsApp with plenty of recommendations and helpful tips. Apartment itself is nice and bright and in a good neighbourhood with plenty of local amenities with a nice buzz about the place.
Just be aware the property next door is undergoing substantial redevelopment presently meaning builders arrive at 8am every morning and start drilling and digging all day. Impossible to sleep past 8am with the noise.
If you have children or elderly not that suitable as two sets of stairs down to apartment (no lifts) and to get anywhere else in Istanbul involves navigating lot of steps, kept us fit!!! We also struggled with taxis as they couldn't find way to the apartment and were dropped off in adjacent street meaning we had to carry suitcases down steps late at night.
Overall lovely apartment and enjoyed our stay and Gizem was a delight to deal with.
