Spacious apartment in best location, everything you need can be found nearby – mostly 24/7.
Only 2 minutes to Taksim Square, yet the apartment is in a quiet side street in the middle of Istanbul. Although I´m very attentive to my sleep I had no problems sleeping.
Even though the windows have curtains and light roller blinds to darken, it´s very bright in the morning. In my experience this kind of courtains/roller blinds is standart in turkish apartments. So bring a sleeping mask if you have trouble sleeping by daylight in the morning ;)
The apartment has plenty of storage space for clothes and luggage and has a nice large roof terrace. Unfortunately the chairs were a bit old... one went busted during our stay but Isik wanted to replace these.
The Kitchen has a basic equipment so we had the possibility to prepare quick meals.
In Istanbul groundwater is not drinking water, but a large water tank is available in the apartment, so you won´t have any problems.
We used the washing machine several times to wash our towels and some clothes, everything worked flawlessly (A laundry stand is also available).
Isik was a very experienced and helpful host. Despite the fact that our arrival was delayed for a few hours, Isik waited for us near the apartment and received us as soon as we arrived.
He was available around the clock if we had any questions. We felt to be in good hands with Isik – Thanks again! :)
