We spent seven nights in Istanbul at the Ruby apartment. The apartment was clean and cozy and while small, it had everything the three of us needed for our stay (including heat, which was very welcome as we stayed during a rare snowstorm in February). The beds were very comfortable – we all slept great. We loved the location - it was very quiet at night, but just a short walk away from the bustle of Istiklal and conveniently located to the tünel and other public transportation. And the view, especially at night, was absolutely breathtaking. Hatice is the perfect host. She made us feel very welcome, was always quick to communicate and helped us with recommendations and with transfer from and to the airport. Her little café is right around the corner – perfect for a quick breakfast and a nice chat with her before starting your day in beautiful Istanbul. We will definitely be back.
