Babel Suite is a great place to stay in Istanbul!
We find it very comfortable, here is why:
1) Location is simply the best:
- go up the street and find famous Istiklal street, Taksim square or Galata tower
- go down the street and walk through Karakoy modern cafes and bars
- go right and meet lots of hipster coffeeshops and fancy restaurants in Chihangir
You can easily find restaurants, coffeeshops, metro or bus stations in 5 min walking distance. There is everything you can need.
2) Apartments has everything necessary: from a small kitchen to hair dryer and iron. Also, there are a collection of movies (from family and mainstream one to pretty strange, ha-ha) and books with history of Istanbul, classic novels and poems.
3) Good Wi-Fi (20+mbps) and a table, so you can easily make a call if you need to.
4) Very hospitable and responsive hosts. They answered every question we had.
5) The building has and elevator (!) and laundry room in the basement.
6) Whole apartment is cozy and stylish.
We highly recommend it for couples and digital nomads!
