This apartment is stylish, clean, convenient, and comfortable —with all of the small touches that make you feel at home. 4 min downhill walk to Tophane Tram station was a major advantage. It’s a quiet, artsy neighborhood with lots of small boutique shops and cats galore. The host provided me with excellent advice and recommendations during my stay (I traveled with my husband and teenage son). The apartment has 24x7 security and was equipped with all of the things you’d need to be comfortable away from home (Netflix 4k tv, fresh towels, linens, 2 courtesy Istanbul cards to use for travel & converter plugs). Don’t bother with hotels—this is the place you want to be!
