This is a great apartment! I stayed a month and found it super comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. It is very clean, easy to keep clean and the decor makes it feel homey but not cluttered. Since the place is on the top floor, it gets excellent light and the view is amazing. The neighbors are polite and quiet. The elevator works well.
The beds and furniture are super comfortable. I slept on the couch for 2 weeks using the hallway walk-in closet for my things. This worked perfectly while my family was visiting. I am 5’10” and slept good. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone taller though. The wifi is fast and consistent. I had no problem using it for remote work.
The hosts were extremely helpful and prompt in answering any questions. They really made me feel like I could reach out to them for anything…especially when I first arrived and was alone in the city for my first 5 days until my family arrived. I can’t tell you how appreciative I was for this.
There are several grocery stores and coffee shops nearby. Being on a main street made catching a bus or taxi easy. Getting to the tourist hotspots was super easy using public transportatıon from the apartment's location. When it was time to come home, directing taxi drivers where to take us was fast and uncomplicated regardless of their knowledge of english. By the end of my stay, we rarely took taxis and found taking the minibus home from the Beşiktaş ferry terminal and market area the easiest.
I strongly recommend this apartment for your stay in Istanbul! After spending a month exploring the city, I was so happy with my decison. The neighborhood and apartment were perfect.
