We’ve stayed in the apartment for 3 weeks in January 2022 and really enjoyed our stay.
1. First thing I want to mention is the perfect location: the apartment is located right next to Sishane metro station (less than 1 minute walk, you just have to go downstairs and it will be right there). We were able to commute everywhere we need conveniently. If you want to travel to the Asian side, you can take a 10 minute walk to Karakoy vapur station which is very convenient as well. There are plenty of taxis almost always available right next to the apartment.
2. Great view. Waking up and going to bed with this amazing view made our stay even better.
3. Istiklal street is just 5 minutes away by walking. There are tons of great cafes/restaurants and local shops both on Istiklal and near the Galata tower. Everything you need is right around the corner.
4. The apartment was clean and nicely designed. The hosts Volkan and Hafize were very kind and thoughtful. They replied to our requests right away. Towels/bed sheets were always changed in a timely manner.
Genuinely recommend this apartment. I’ve been to Istanbul several times and stayed at different places, this was one of the best.
