This little apartment is perfect, albeit quite small. The trick is you have to unpack your suitcases completely and put your things away - there’s more than enough storage for that. You’ll immediately feel at home!
The balcony is a whole extra room where you can have your meals or just relax.
I loved how thoughtful all the details were. For example, I stayed for two weeks, so the shampoo, conditioner and bodywash were in full-size bottles. So were the laundry detergent and softener.
There are two kinds of pillows - soft feather ones and firm ones, isn’t that great! The bed, by the way, is super comfortable. Combine that with the quiet neighborhood and you’ll get perfect rest every night (the only noise outside is seagulls but that’s kind of cool).
You do have to buy drinking water, but there will be a 1.5L bottle in the fridge waiting for you as part of the welcome package.
The street is charming, with several great places to eat, steps away, and nice shops and boutiques. Check out the ship model shop. If you are into sailboats, this man makes them like no one else.
All in all, this kind of stay makes you fall in love with Istanbul even more. Thank you, Missy and the crew! I’ll definitely be back.
