My friend and I really enjoyed our stay in Irem's apartment. It's got a very central location - a few minutes' walk away is the Sishane metro station which takes you to where you need to be in Istanbul. It's also quite near Istiklal Caddesi which is lined with hip cafes and restaurants and pubs, as well as some galleries; Galata Tower is a 15minute walk away and the road leading to the place has some pretty eclectic mix of stores. The apartment itself is very cozy and our stay was quite lovely - everything we needed was there, from toiletries to towels, coffee and tea, wifi is free and the place has got a killer view of the city. Irem was always a Whatsapp message away and responded quickly to whatever question we may have, which we greatly appreciated. Very warm and accommodating - we'd gladly book the place again when we find ourselves back in Istanbul!
