It was a really great decision to choose this residence for our stay in Istanbul. This was our first time in the city and the staff at the residence was really helpful and efficient throughout our stay. This location was perfect because it was about a 5-10 minute walk to Taksim square, about a 15 minute walk to Galata Tower, and about a 20 minute walk to the seaside. One of the days, we even walked to the Blue Mosque from here, which is about a 40-50 minute walk. Very convenient, central and accessible. The train station, bus stop and taxi access are also close by. Lots of great local restaurants and shops are nearby, along with great bakeries. Everyone in the area was really welcoming and made us feel right at home. The apartment itself is very clean and has lots of amenities. The sofa bed and bed are very comfortable. There were four of us staying in the apartment and found it to be a perfect size. The kitchenette had dishes and utensils, a stove, along with a dishwasher and fridge. Only positive things to say about this place. Absolutely loved staying here and would love to come again next time we are in Istanbul!
