This place is impeccable. From the moment you arrive, it is a very modern, BRAND NEW, secure building, called Benesta Beyoglu. Every morning, I woke up and stepped out onto the large balcony (equipped with tables and chairs), and gazed at the spectacular view. Behind the building is a University and elementary school. Once you close the doors you are shut off from the outside noises, however, there is a delightful jingle that plays from the elementary school every now and then. The location is pretty nice, the front of the building faces a busy street, Taksim square is about a 15 min walk, an International supermarket chain (Carrefour) is about a 5 min walk. Very easy to hail a taxi. If you prefer a night in, the leading food delivery service, Yemeksepti, has no problem delivering to this address. The building is equipped with all of the amenities listed, but I did not use them while there.
As for the apartment, it is tastefully decorated and comes with all the essentials you may need. It was very quick and easy to make this feel like my home. During my time there, the internet speeds did not reach the level I was expecting, but it's enough for browsing and your favorite streaming services. If you are looking for luxury at an affordable price, you are definitely looking at the right place.
