A cozy place for a big family or a Buch of friends spending vacation in Istanbul. It’s got a great location with very nice reachability.
As far as the photos go, they did not accurately reflect our experience, the balcony table for example, and also the place does not seem as tidy and clean as photos may suggest.
The address on Airbnb was not accurate, to begin with, and it took some time for us to figure out, guided by the host(s). What’s more, we didn’t really meet the host(s) themselves and could not easily communicate in English or even Turkish. The apartment has a very friendly caretaker though, who speaks Turkish natively.
The apartment has got a very beautiful architecture though, and has got a lot of home appliances, so you probably won’t need to bring or buy any silverware or dishes and kitchen utensils, if cooking is your thing.
The apartment is rather old though, and can certainly use better cleaning and maintenance. Some lights didn’t work well, for instance, and the bathroom door could not be closed easily and its doorknob was broken, which was a cause of concern when answering the call of nature or taking a shower.
All in all, it was a good value for the price, especially for us that were more interested in reunion and sightseeing than the apartment itself.
I hope you’ll find these comments helpful and have a great stay at the lovely Istanbul.
