The apartment was conveniently located a few blocks away from the main Istiklal Caddesi shopping street, reasonably priced restaurants, supermarkets and the famous Taksim square. I felt very safe at night in this area with the added comfort that the Appartement is opposite a police station,
It is a nice and clean apartment for those who require a basic set up. I would have liked more comfort and a more homely feel. That said, those that worked there made all the difference. The reception was always available, upon arrival and departure, I was helped with my baggage, taxis arranged, HES code arranges, calls made on my behalf to 3rd parties (taxi drivers, clinics airline, PCR testing), provided with information on the sights, pricing, … places to eat, I could go on … The service was top-rated, the type of service that I would have missed in renting someone's private home but equivalent to that of a 5-star hotel -= and I've been to many!!
Burak is the star! I had many great conversations with him, always smiling, willing and helpful. If I had a hotel, I'd try my best to entice him away from his current employer. The entire team, from the manager to housekeeping - to night reception. I would recommend it to others, and I look forward to a visit again..
