First off let me say that Mehmet was an amazing host; our stay was pleasant, safe, comfortable, quiet and very memorable.
We had some very minor problems at the beginning, which Mehmet helped us with posthaste and his communication was quick and friendly.
The location is great, just remember to go up the street when you get to Often Elesiyum Soul, as the downstairs is a Visa Centre and for the apartments you have to walk a little uphill, which takes 1 minute. The location is very close to Istiklal and Taksim Sq., but walking is a little uphill, but plenty of taxis and Ubers in the area. The building is very clean, modern with a nice garden, lovely staff and super quiet.
The apartment is very quiet; you can’t hear any neighbours. The garbage bin is in the fire exit area, which was right next door to our apartment and elevators were very prompt and close to our door.
The apartment has all the necessary kitchen appliances (Oven, microwave, kettle, sandwich maker, coffee maker, blender, etc.) as well as an easy-to-use washing machine, vacuum cleaner, iron, etc.
We didn’t get to use the TV, which I’m sure works perfectly but the internet was very comfortable to stream Netflix and FaceTime.
The room is very small, however for one person or a couple, it suffices; the bathroom is very spacious and perfect, the kitchen area is spacious enough to cook in and has all the pots, pans and cutlery one would need for making breakfast and dinner, as we did every day for a week. We bought some wine glasses and left them there for the next occupants and ourselves in the future but other than that, all the dishes and glassware were available in abundance!
Overall the apartment was pretty much perfect, had all the amenities, small and cute; we will definitely be staying again!
Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, we hope to see you again soon ☺️🙏🏼
