My family & I enjoyed our stay here. Location is excellent, very near to Tophane tram station (3 minute walk), and istiklal shopping street (15 - 20 minutes walk up the hill). Shops & restaurants at walking distance too. The apartment is at the first floor, accessible via stair case (short one). Everything we needed are available at the apartment (washer, dryer, iron & board, kettle, refrigerator, heater etc..). Engin is a great host! He is very responsive, shared clear direction to check in. We got delayed for check in due to bad traffic, but he waited for us & took his time to show us around the apartment & explain the necessaries. I will definitely recommend this apartment if you looking for one in Beyoglu & near istiklal st.
