Great apartment in Central Istanbul with unbeatable views over the city. Firstly the apartment is accessible without the need to climb many steps the entrance is from historic street very close to commando stairs and also has private access to what has to be one of the best roof terrace views in Istanbul. The apartment block is built maybe one story higher than some around it meaning the views are panoramic 360 degrees and unrestricted. For anyone aged 10 to 59 years the street is steep but quickly links the famous tower or the famous bridge that contains many restaurants and where many people fish the heart of the city (you can’t be more central) you can also get Turkish flat bread made fresh next to the ferry port at bottom of street for 10TL under £1 each.. ) the apartment itself contains 2 full size bedrooms and a lounge bedroom and could provide accommodation for at least upto 6 people in comfort or three couples. The price we paid was very reasonable and the host was extremely accommodating we unintentionally messed him around on 3 occasions once we had umbrellas stollen, once we got lost at start and was late to check in, and he found us at Konak Cafe (next street) and thirdly our communication could of been better these kind acts and his understanding tell me that anyone who comes to Istanbul can feel safe dealing with honest host and good friend to tourist! The kitchen in the apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay knifes folks spoons plates bowls tea coffee water... we used a little water and a little coffee but I’d recommend anyone who uses more to be respectful and replace. There’s also random items you may need in kitchen we found some string/rope for example which we needed a tiny bit of. The heating is easy programmable the water is good and there’s climate control for summer in form of new mobile conditioners in bedroom and a new air conditioning fixed unit in the main lounge bedroom (see review from there client from hell) the bathroom has stated by many reviews is really small however unless you plan on having a shower whilst someone else is doing a number 2 on toilet 🚽 I really can’t see the issue here except the fact it’s advisable to put your towel on top of the cyston out the way of water whilst you shower the water is always hot and due to toilet shower being small it stays warm and is next to main bedroom. Everything linked by long corridor making the apartment large but cosy! also Water drains away perfectly from previously stated bathroom .. The other whinge people make is the roof terrace you have to walk to top yes it’s an historic building and the roof is one of highest in the city with best views of city 360 but if your lazy you will miss something very special you need to walk to the roof. the roof can’t walk to you 🤷🏽‍♂️ (if you are not able bodied bare this in mind when booking the accommodation don’t be giving good people grief afterwards if you can’t read and have difficulties walking stairs to the roof! ) outside is a hotel a couple of doors down and a gift shop the hotel has a very cute cat house... and a couple of beautiful cats I also recommend you look at trip adviser has apartments 20 minutes walk or very short Uber to one of the best Vans breakfast in the city... we paid under £10 for 3 people there and was there 90 minutes at Van Kahvalti Evi it’s about number 55 out or 2000 for breakfast... if your staying and very young or very old you will need Uber which are very affordable note the apartment is on historic street so for active people it’s perfect for others Uber provides full affordable access via the app (apartment WiFi) WiFi is fast and consistent so you have control of your vacation and work at home always whilst at this wonderful apartment. Metro is also a short walk away giving access to superb areas of the city fast like Otakoy (for Thursday market.... famous Turkish baked potatoes street near market where there are many many hot potato sellers unique experience.. Palace harem and Basiktas football stadiums few metro stops away Besiktas Is a highly recommended area. In other direction team from bridge serves you quickly to Sultanahmet (maybe 3 stops if I remember) for cost of just over 30p 30 rubbles 30 cents per journey once you buy travel card that you can keep for next time or has keep sake for 55p all in all I can’t think of a reason not to stay at this apartment the roof terrace is worth the money alone perfect for pictures and selfies and only people who are lazy or not got a life will be so preoccupied by the small toilet bathroom but if you make you most of your stay you will only need this first thing and last thing each day and honestly if you want to moan pay extra and stay at the Hilton for substantially more I highly recommend this Airbnb for people with realistic expectations who want to see has much of the city fast and on a reasonable budget who like historic buildings and dealing with good people give the host and accommodation the respect you expect back and you won’t be disappointed and will get the most out your vacation... my review is 5 stars all round and hope I’ve not missed anything Dave & Family
