I spent the most magical days of my life here in this beautiful apartment in the center of everything mystical in Istanbul. First I’d like to say that I was traveling all alone. Afghan American woman in her mid 30’s all by herself in Istanbul. The owners of the apartment knew this and they did everything to make me feel safe and at home. Their apartment manager Mr. Kemal is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Anytime I needed anything he was there within minutes. Any questions I had Gulnur or Arslan responded very quickly. Whether it was questions about the apartment or Istanbul, they were always so quick to respond. The apartment is clean, and the appliances are very easy to use. They also have a handbook that has easy to follow directions. The view from the terrace is gorgeous! And the location of the apartment is the best. All of Istanbul’s most beautiful sites are so close. AyaSophia, Sultan Ahmet, Sultan Sulimon and so many other breathtaking mosques are near by. The grand bazaar which is probably the best shopping experience you’ll ever have is only a 10 minute walking distance from the apartment. The best restaurants are all around you. You’re walking distance from the sea, and about a 10-15 min taxi ride from Taksim, Galata tower and Galata port! Easy access to ferry rides, museums, hookah spots, and so much more. As far as safety is concerned,
I felt safe the whole time I was in Istanbul. As a woman traveling alone, I can’t even recall a moment where I felt like I was in danger which was such a blessing. The apartment is super safe with cameras, bolted locks, a call box, the property manager one floor above, and a police station within walking distance it’s definitely a safe, cozy, and beautiful apartment. I plan on coming back and staying here again. I truly loved my whole experience! I’m grateful to have been able to stay here and have my holiday here. I would also like to add that I stayed in this apartment for a full month, and the hospitality, quick responses, and safety was experienced consistently throughout the month! Thank you for
Everything!!!
