Sibel and Merve are wonderful hosts. The penthouse is beautiful, clean, comfortable and views are priceless! The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and spacious. The kitchen is very nice with tea, coffee, water bottles and snacks.
My husband and I really enjoyed sitting on the roof top terrace in the evening watching the ferries and Iatambul come to life with lights galore! The views were also spectacular from the living room with full wall of windows. we loved the apartment
The location is excellent for public transportation. you can be in Taksim Square in 4 minutes on the metro or 12 minutes walking. the teamis easily accessible to get to the old city Hagia Sofia, Blue Misque, Grand Bazaar in just 10 minutes. You can take the ferry to Prince Island for just $1! The ferry rides are right across the street from the building. And you can walk to many places as well.
We were concerned about the 4 flight of stairs, but Merve helped us find someone that could take the luggage up. and the daily in and out wasn't bad at all. We just thought it was great warm up exercise for our long walking days. so much that we didn't want to leave to tour all the sites of Istanbul.
I would highly recommend Sibel and Merve's place if you are visiting Istanbul!
