Really beautiful apartment in an amazing location with views of the sea, Galata tower and over Istiklal street!
We loved our stay and Gerrit was easy to communicate with and available to reach out to with any queries during our stay. He also accommodated a late check out for us which was really kind and helpful.
Apartment is a mix of old and new details, with big spacious rooms and all amenities. Almost too big for our group of 5 people! Kitchen was equipped with anything and everything we might need during the stay. There is one TV located in the entry hallway and Gerrit also offered to provide us with a projector if needed. We didn’t end up needing it as we wanted to enjoy the ambience of the apartment itself! There is a music school next door and it was sweet to hear them practicing as we cooked dinner etc! They were mindful and did not disturb us during any antisocial hours.
There were a few downsides to the apartment, the first being that the only AC in the apartment was in the living room - and so the other rooms get hot through the night (we visited in June/July). The two bedrooms near the back of the property are not very well lit with natural light, but this I guess comes with the character of the apartment. I would suggest that lighting is improved throughout the whole apartment, if possible. Lastly, the noise from the street can also disturb during the night, so the front rooms are better for the heavy sleepers.
Aside from these things, we loved our stay and would stay again.
