We loved our stay at Irem’s apartments. We had the loft with terrace which was very comfortable for the two of us. We didn’t use the terrace much since it was raining while we were there, but there was ample place to sit outside and sip tea. The mattress and bedding are extremely comfortable and clean. The bathroom was very clean and stocked with essentials like bath gel, shampoo, sewing kit, etc. The kitchen is also well stocked with cooking supplies (utensils, glassware, dishes, pots and pans), small electric stove and small fridge. There’s even some tea and coffee packets that are provided free of charge. You can tell that the host has thought of everything.
The location is very convenient to public transportation, and walkable to Taksim square (5-7 mins for us). There are plenty of grocery stores nearby and a small
Bakery on the same street. The location was great for us first timers to Istanbul.
Some considerations to keep in mind. The loft is at the top so be prepared to climb a short staircase to get your room. The internet can be slow at times and the water pressure in the shower is low, through the hand attachment works perfectly fine.
Overall I recommend the place highly and would definitely stay here again.
