Great location, good facilities in the apartment, powerful shower, helpful staff from the reception at the hotel next door available for your queries as they also manage this apartment. Given it’s in a hotspot I expected more noise but the windows do block out the noise levels well. Istiklar street is only a 5 minute walk away. Karakoy tram station is only 5 minutes walk too. The washer-dryer is very handy but you need to buy your own machine gel/powder. The fridge works well and there is a charcoal barbecue on the roof terrace to make your own food (not sure why you’d want to do that when there are so many nice places to eat around). The shower was very powerful and the water was mostly hot, but the bathroom layout could be improved. I’m not overweight and I found it very awkward to navigate my body around the toilet, past the shower door, and then to squeeze myself into the corner of the shower to close the shower door. I would recommend changing the shower door to a bifold door so that people can easily go in and out of the shower. There were no spare toilet paper rolls in the bathroom cupboard but I’m sure if we asked for one at the hotel next door they would have helped us. Similarly, we had to ask for new towels each day as these were not automatically replaced. Aside from these minor inconveniences I was very pleased with my stay.
