Irem is friendly host and was kind enough to let us check-in early to the apartment. Her apartment is located in a very safe street with small grocery stores with friendly storekeepers 30metres away that seem to open till very late. Apartment is also 5mins walk from the popular Istikal Street / 7mins walk to Sişhane Metro station and very near some good eateries that open till very late. Istikal Street is really lively with large crowds, plenty of stores, cafes that open till 3-4am. My partner and I felt really safe walking back past midnight and had no issues at all. The apartment itself is really clean, spacious and well-lit with a charming and welcoming lobby area for guests to rest while waiting for the room to be ready. Everything in the apartment works well and Wifi connection was very strong and fast even at the lobby area. We really love the comfortable large bed and fluffy pillows which provided my partner and I with a good night's rest. We had some shower issues on the first day but it was fixed the next day and after that the shower was amazing with very good water pressure and heat. This charming apartment is an amazing getaway in the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and definitely value for money. I would highly recommend Irem's apartment if you like shopping and eating out late at night! Thanks again for the wonderful stay, Irem!
