Revsan was a very kind & accommodating host, she met us on Istiklal Street & took us to the apartment, helpful so we knew our location a little better.

The flat was as pictured, very spacious & spotlessly clean! It felt safe & secure also.

As mentioned in other comments, the flat is on the 4th floor & the spiral staircase is a little steep-so perhaps not ideal for anybody with mobility difficulties.

We were just a 5-10 minute walk to Istiklal Street, Taksim Square & a main road with buses going allover Istanbul- including to Eminonu.

We thought the price was very reasonable for the flat. The neighbourhood wasn't the trendiest in Beyoglu, but we knew that from researching before we booked.

Around the corner was a street with a few shops including a grocery store, newsagents & a couple of small cafes. It's also a convenient place to grab a taxi if needed.

Ive seen a few comments below regarding groups of men hanging around. From what we could gather they were all locals from neighbouring flats, socialising & supervising their children playing on the street.

We visited Istanbul in the middle of Bayram which is one of the busiest times of the year there, with people out celebrating on the streets, we were never bothered by anybody or made to feel uncomfortable.

We wanted to stay in an area that wasn't overrun by tourists, was close to the buzz of Beyoglu nightlife but not right in the middle of it & felt like a lively locals neighbourhood.

I would say Revsan's flat suited this perfectly!

I would highly recommend staying here, a great base to come back to after a hard days' sightseeing : )
