Great apartment which we would definitely recommend to anyone. The host and the family organizing the check-in/check-out onsite at the apartment was always friendly and helpful to any kind of need and open questions.
The apartment was clean and everything was as expected. Since we have a little child the baby equipment was perfectly fitting to us and covered all our needs for our stay here. Another good point was that you have a home office included in this apartment with desk, chair and a monitor which allowed me also easily to work from "home" in Istanbul.
The location is perfect in a quite and secure region of Istanbul with mainly local people around and many options near by like bakery, super market, coffee shops, restaurants etc. and a big benefit is the very close marmaray station from where you can easily travel even without a car to anywhere in Istanbul. Behind the marmaray station few minutes further you can find big promenade for a walk at the sea side.
So whoever is interested to visit the apartment of Mr. Firat in Maltepe/Istanbul is definitely recommended by us without any doubts.
