The Charming Apartment gave us the chance to have an excellent stay in the most beautiful and safest neighborhood of the city. It is a traditional ottoman house from the outside, while inside it’s a modern, comfortable and fully equipped apartment. From the wonderful bedroom, one has immediate access to a picturesque wooden little terrace with a view to a wooded hill which is ideal for the breakfast or dinner, either when the weather is good or when one wants to enjoy the view from the bed during the winter. The kitchen is well equipped, there are two WC’s, and a luxury shower. The neighborhood of Kuzguncuk is situated on the shore of Bosphorus. It is very picturesque and has many beautiful places for food and coffee.. A 2 days stay is enough for someone to get to know the neighborhood’s inhabitants and for them to start greeting you. Excellent transport, 1 ½ km from Üsküdar (only 2 minutes by public transport vehicles which are very frequent). From Üsküdar one has direct access to all touristic sites of the city either by boats either by the metro (Marmaray) which also takes you to the Ataturk airport, while access to the second airport Sabiha, is also easy without having to cross the Bosphorus. The most important thing of all is Yeşim’s welcoming: her politeness, her smile and willingness to do everything for us. We thought we would meet a receptionist, but we finally met a friend. We have stayed in so many places in Istanbul, but we found in this Charming Apartment of Kuzguncuk our "Home”. And Kuzguncuk became our “village”. We don’t change apartments anymore and we highly recommend it. Everything was excellent.
