My husband and I stayed in this apartment for 10 days. We had work and at the same time wanted to tour the city. We really enjoyed it. As a breakdown:
-Neighborhood: We cannot stress how amazing the location is. It's clean, quiet and safe, located among other rentals. The house is on the ground floor of Block B, the building was situated on a normal slope, not too tiring. At the bottom of the slope there are loads of markets, restaurants and cafes. At the top of the slope are assuming a university and (30s away) was a metro station, which was so practical, as well as Istiklal street with hundreds of shops and cafes. Along Istiklal street, Taksim square is 25 min away on foot, Galata tower is 4 min away.
-House: The house is very spacious. There was hot water and heating. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom had all utensils and amenities needed. The best part was the desk and dining table in the living room which allowed us to work. Despite the location, the place was quiet and great for work (the only annoyance were students gathering up in front of the house for a 15 min break at around 1pm). The bedroom had a spacious closet and in the hallway next to the kitchen was a separate closet which we used to store our bags and shoes and it was very practical. We couldn't make use of the TV much. The wifi was great and allowed us to work. Phone reception isn't great (any carrier) because of the presence of a consulate nearby.
-Host: The team is very helpful and professional. They are clean and attentive and take safety measures (covid wise). They were very responsive when the wifi went down and fixed it quickly. They were kind enough to call a cab for us when asked.
I highly recommend this place for a working tourist who is looking for a great place to work and somewhere close to attractions and transportation.
