It was our first time visiting Istanbul and this apartment was the absolute perfect place to stay — centrally located, close to transit, lovely neighborhood with numerous dining options, grocery stores nearby, and more. It’s located on a hill, so it’s a bit of a walk — fine for us but one thing to consider for older travelers or those with mobility issues. The apartment was clean, exactly as advertised, and Al was a responsive and friendly host. Check in was a breeze and it was easy to come and go from the apartment as needed.
