I was honored to be the first guest at Furkan's amazing apartment. He was a wonderful host. He answered all of my questions that I had before booking quickly, he checked in multiple times before I arrived, and he made sure throughout my trip that I had everything I needed.
I travel often to Istanbul and this apartment is by far the best I have stayed. The apartment is exactly like the pictures. It is an authentic building with amazing exposed brick. Many places I have stayed are a disappointment in person but this apartment is incredibly clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view is amazing!
As I had to work when I am in Istanbul, strong wifi is critical and I never once had a connection issue running multiple devices. The shower is hot and great water pressure. The bed is comfortable as is the lounge area. Even the extra touches like a backgammon set made this stay so special.
You are in an authentic building by Galata. There will be some noise and of course a hill. However it is easy to get to the tram or metro and if you don't want to walk up the hill you can take the tunnel at karakoy and walk down. This apartment is so centrally located to everything.
Thank you Furkan for an amazing stay. This will be the only apartment for me on my upcoming trips!
