My husband and I stayed for a few days while on a city break in Istanbul. The apartment was just the right size for us and cozy, all was spotless. We did not use the cooking/laundry facilities but nice to have the option. It is located on a quiet street in Beyoglu within 5 mins walk to the busier livelier areas uphill. On the street itself we found some nice cafes for breakfast, bars/takeaway for delicious food if you don't fancy a restaurant and downhill walking towards the waterfront there's lots of fresh juice stalls and independent clothes/gifts/homeware shops (not touristy) , made me wish I didn't have just hand luggage. Again 5 mins away from the waterfront where there's more bars etc. The host was very nice and helpful, we checked in later due to flight delay and she was always responsive and quick to assist. Totally recommend.
