The pictures are very accurate. The apartment is beautifully furnished and tasteful. So many wonderful details. Everything feels new and it feels like a home. Some airbnbs are a collection of random left-overs but this is not the case for this apartment.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook and make meals-- important due to COVID and lock downs! The furniture including the beds are very comfortable. The balconies are lovely to have some extra outside space. All of the bedrooms have windows and storage for clothes and are a good size. The hot water and water pressure are terrific (I have very long hair so this is important). We also used the bathtub and there was plenty of hot water to fill it. The big room upstairs has a lot of sunlight. I suggest a couch to make it more cosey in front of the fire (fyi, the fire place does not provide heat, but is a nice touch). For an Istanbul apartment it has a lot of space. There is also a bedroom on the first floor for those who have mobility challenges and the elevator was key as I had heavy suitcases. Also baby gates on either end of the staircase for those with little ones.
The location was also very quiet which is highly unusual for Istanbul. The neighbors are not loud which is great. The building itself is secure and nice.
If you like high end shopping; or need to be near the American Hospital, this is a great location. Nisantisi is less about cultural tourism and more about shopping tourism. The restaurants are also a bit high end; however, because many were closed for COVID and the kitchen was so well equipped, we cooked a lot. (btw: there were so many basics in the kitchen, you don't have to start from scratch so check out what is in there before grocery shopping). Migros grocery store is a 3 minute walk away with some smaller shops even closer. Sappa is a fantastic pizza place with gluten-free pizza and is literally less than a minute walk around the corner. Osmanbey metro about 10 minutes walking.
The smart TV worked well. The internet overall was fine; streamed fine and had zoom calls fine. With some boosting for the second floor it will be perfect. Washing machine was easy enough to use and clothes dried relatively quickly on the rack.
Enise was a wonderful hostess. She check in on us a few times (we were there for 12 days); responded quickly when we sent messages. She also let us "check in" before check in time and leave our bags while we wondered until the official check in time. Place was very clean. Thank you, Enise for a great trip!
