This little 5th floor apartment is a gem. It comes with a relatively large balcony for your early mornings, evening drinks and late chilling. The room is very very well aired and clean. The balcony’s view is city/street view and the only people who can see you while there are the front neighbors who were very respectful and never gazed towards the apartment.
Despite being in the 5th floor (you take the elevator for 4 floors and just take the stairs for one more floor) the water pressure is phenomenal. Showering was great and everything else in the bathroom was working great. All amenities advertised exist in this apartment and they are in a perfect working state.
The apartment is in an old buildings, old yet very clean , well preserved, and fully restored with an elevator inside!
The only shortcoming for me was the acoustic isolation ( I’m a sound engineer and I might be picky in this one) I could hear movement in the next apartment sometimes. No big deal though, the sound of birds, seagulls and city covers it.
This apartment has one of the best breezes in the history of time. Whether you’re in the balcony or inside with the sliding large window open, you’ll have one of the best fresh air breezes from all directions which keeps the room smelling fresh and clean all the time.
Taner and Nicolas are fantastic people, very helpful and will take no time to reply to you or fix something if needed. On my first day I did not meet them but was in permanent contact with them through Airbnb and WhatsApp. They replied instantaneously. They could not be around the apartment at the time I was arriving so Instead they introduced me to Halil, a gentleman who greeted me and handed me the apartment keys, he was very informative and nice.
The place is in the center of Beyoğlu and literally 5 to 10 min walk from the famous Istiklal Street and Galata. Depends on the walk route you take, you will find plenty of nice pubs and restaurants to choose from.
There is also a very near bus stop with multiple lines connecting you to a lot of other Istanbul places.
Finally, I would totally recommend this place 🤘🏼
