A wonderful, clean apartment full of Turkish character in the heart of bustling Karakoy! We loved our apartment and our host was very accessible and helpful throughout our stay. The initial entrance through a leather shop all added to the experience and the rooftop was an amazing space!
If we were to come again to Istanbul we would find it a difficult challenge to look elsewhere and will no doubt just stay here again!
We were a family of 3 adults and 1 toddler. Istanbul is not the most toddler friendly place due to the cobbles and cars but we managed - I would recommend a body carrier for sure! Taylan had a wonderful cotbed for our little boy and the kitchen was practical for all our needs. A small supermarket only a few doors up for basics eg. milk etc... There are 3 flights of steps up to the apartment but so long as you have no accessibility issues this is ok and the reward of the wonderful air con in the apartment is all the motivation needed!
I would say the property is on the pricey side. One of us stayed in a nice hotel round the corner for one night for a fraction of the price so this place is not a bargain...but you'll find those in the leather shop downstairs.
