Yaprak’s apartment is everything that is desirable for a long stay in Istanbul. We spent more than a month here and we are definitely sad too leave; we were starting to call it “our” home. The house is big, you get one big living room, one big kitchen and one big bedroom, also, there is a medium size room used as a self wardrobe and couch where to sit in case. From the bedroom also, you get to the balcony, which is big enough to stay up to 4 people and spend a beautiful dinner enjoying the stunning Bosphorous view. Finally, there is a big bathroom (with window), along with the washing machine and everything else you need. Comfort and onrmenta are the must, there are comfort couch, tables, plants and small handy accessories you can find pretty useful in the everyday life. One thing among the most great I found is that you never need to turn the air-conditioning on. In fact, as soon as you open windows, smooth and fresh air relax you all the day, even during those sweltering sunny days. On the other hand, if you are a sunny-person, you can always decide to sit in the balcony in the morning and in the livingroom in the afternoon; there are always a beautiful light and sun. All the furnitures were working perfectly and you also have enough kitchen-stuff and space to express yourself at best. The area is among my favourits of Istanbul. You are either really close to real local cafès were more cool people hang out, and close also to more touristics spots as Istiklal Cd., Galata Tower, etc. The street is very quite, neighborhood are very friendly and there are very close little shops were to find those last-minute grocery stuff you forgot during the day. Yaprak has been very kind with us, always helpful, smiling, precise and correct.
Even though a bit jealous of her apartment right now ahah, we strongly encourage you to book it if you are intended to spent a short or long time in this beautiful city, because it is really worth it on every aspect.
