I stayed nearly three months in the Orange Studio. It is a really nice and cozy place and matches exactly to the discription and photos. You can find everything you need in the apartment, also if you stay for longer than just a short holiday. The big terrace is for sure a highlight and I liked sitting there after work to relax. If you think the room might be a bit small, I can tell you that I felt comfortable pretty fast there. Moreover, Istanbul is too exciting to spend much time inside anyway.

Also the location of the apartment is very good. The house is in a small street and I usually felt safe there also when I was walking alone in the evenings. In this area you have everything close by: Several shops, a bigger supermarket, dry cleaning (in case you need), the metro and bus stops. You will be close to Nişantaşı which offers many opportunities for shopping and nice restaurants. Taksim is just one stop with the metro or you can even walk there.

Fatih was a helpful host. When I arrived he gave a short overview about the area and told me where I can find everything. During my stay it was always easy to communicate with him. When I needed to leave a bit earier than I planned, Fatih tried and managed to rent the appartment directly to someone else so that he was able to pay me back a part of the rent.

If someone asked me for a cozy place to stay in Istanbul either for a couple for holidays or alone for a longer time, I would recommend the Orange Studio.
