We stayed at the apartments for 2 weeks and I can certainly recommend it.
We choose it because of the free cancellation option up to the day of arrival (very useful on unpredictable pandemic days), kitchen availability, and convenient location (for those, who visit Istanbul for the first time but don’t want to live in close proximity with the main religious attractions).
The room was a little bit different from the one in the photos but has a similar cozy design and even a tiny balcony. You cannot place a chair there, but you can go out in the morning and watch the leaves sway on the house opposite (and a frightening clown graffiti, but in a week you will get used to it).
Everything was clean, only kitchen stuff needed more thorough washing. Also, there were very few utensils and no dish-washing liquid and sponge. The electric stove was of the old type, so it was a little bit scary to use it. Despite kitchen corner availability, there is no proper place to eat for two people (room has only work desk with the chair and one armchair). Still, the in-room kitchenette is great if you need to cook something simple like oatmeal in the morning or some sandwiches.
The shower has very good water pressure and the water was really hot. There is a dispenser with vegan shower gel and shampoo on the wall.
Hotel laundry costs 50 liras, but it feels like they washed my clothes without powder.
If you like to sleep with open windows the noise from Istiklal street may bother you, especially on the weekends. But if you close the balcony door it’s ok.
The staff kindly gave us an additional blanket upon request, because there was only one big blanket.
The room is cleaned on request (and it’s better to say about it on reception because if you just put the door hanger sign it might go unnoticed).
Ferry pier is in 15 minutes by walk (but on the way back to the hotel you will need to make a decent climb) and it’s very convenient to go to Üsküdar, Kadiköy, Adalar Islands or just cross the bridge and visit Sultanahmet neighborhood. Also in 20 min by walk you can get to Havaist bus stop near Taksim square and have a convenient shuttle to the airport.
