We spent a month in the apartment and everything was perfect. The house is located in a quiet area with no noise around, and there is a small courtyard where u can sometimes hear birds and find beautiful sleeping cats on a chair. The apartment is within walking distance from the beautiful promenade, and there are many shops for every taste, as well as banks and pharmacies, etc. Everything is really convenient. Bus stops and the Marmaray are also nearby, and there is a ferry that takes you to the islands. The apartment has a lot of space, and everything was clean and tidy when we moved in. There are plenty of towels and linens, making it ideal for long-term rentals. There are also two desktops available for online work and everything u need for cooking. Funda was very responsive, and her brother Omer was too. For example, when we needed faster WI-FI speed, Omer arrived with a technician within an hour to connect us. We will definitely stay there again when we are in Istanbul. Thank u
