Even better than the description!
If you have a chance to book this flat, do it!
The whole place is exceptional. The view is incredible, day and night. It will make your stay in Istanbul such a wonderful experience!
Can thought of every amenity.
She was so very generous to us, and saved us from a negative hotel experience. When we arrived, the fridge had been stocked with fruit, cheese, butter, bread, milk juice and other treats. There's coffee and tea and the kitchen has all the appliances you could want.
The apartment is so comfortable! It's full of charm, unlike those all white and grey places that don't feed the soul. The bed is very comfortable. There's a lift so it was very easy to get our luggage upstairs. there's local restaurants and markets a close walk nearby.
The Taxi stand across the street was also very convenient!
The neighborhood is fantastic. The best area to stay in Istanbul. Close to Taksim Square and the shopping street. And a walk down to the metro to the historical district, Grand Bazaar and all the sites. The Bazaar currency exchange booths inside the market, also seemed a very good exchange rate, btw, when you need to change some money.
Get an IstanbulKart for the metro. It's very inexpensive and gets you all around Istanbul very efficiently. You can also use it in some of the paid toilets!
Istanbul is hilly and walking uphill is unavoidable. Great exercise! When we were tired we took the funicular up to Taksim Square and walked downhill to the flat!
I loved the boats and we took ferrys just for the inexpensive boat rides. You can use the Istanbulkart for this.
A big added bonus is that Can is travel agent and can help you make other travel planes. She's super responsive and so patient. She helped us book flights and a wonderful hotel in Cappadocia! Even found us a great private guide.
She made our trip to Istanbul a wonderful experience and I am so grateful to have met her, and stayed in this awesome apartment.
If it's available for your stay, you will never regret booking it! Enjoy!
