This apartment exceeded our expectations. The apartment is even more beautiful on photos. We did not hear the Azan in the mornings as the apartment is conveniently set on a very quiet street and courtyard (we made sure all windows were closed even in the bathroom). Of course there is some hustle and bustle but we not come to Istanbul for peace and quiet and love the life of the city. The location is vibrant with supermarkets and shops very close by. We travelled with a one year old so this was very convenient if we needed to run late night errands. For such an old apartment the kitchen and bathroom were very modern and well-equipped. The stairwell is very impressive with a marble staircase and iron banisters. This was our first time staying in Beyolgu and it’s safe to say that after having stayed here we won’t be going back to our usual area of Fatih. I’d highly recommend staying in Beyolgu if you like a more cultured, trendy and artsy side of a city. There are plenty of traditional restaurants too as Beyolgu is a melting pot which in my opinion caters to ever kind of traveller. Soho House is a stones throw away whilst the busy street of Istiklal is not far either (Zara, HM…). The apartment had everything we needed. It was such a luxury to be able to do some washing along the way as soaps and suds were provided. We ran out of dishwasher tablets and the housekeeper kindly replenished these for us. It was far better than any hotel we would have stayed at for the price and size of the property. For those travelling with children please be aware that there isn’t a lift and we were made aware of this prior to booking. I am 6 months pregnant so I was not opposed to having some extra exercise on top of walking all day in Istanbul. We had the luxury of having Grand Masaj (massage facility) around the corner to end our busy day in Istanbul. Overall the stay was superb, Ezra was friendly and helpful. The apartment is a work of art.
