Since I am the first to write a review, I am happy to share a lot of information for the next people who are considering this nice place. This apartment was perfect for us two. We stayed for 2,5 weeks and felt so lucky. The apartment is exactly as on the pictures. And the location is wonderful in the historical area in Istanbul. It is a very private and absolutely quiet place in a beautiful area of little alleys of the Fatih district.
Mehmet, the host, was very kind. He was happy to answer all the questions in advance and it was very easy to arrange the time of arrival with him. We spoke English together. He showed the apartment and was always available for potential questions.
The tram is only a ca. 7 minute walk away. This tram brings you to all important destinations of all directions. It is one of the main lines. All in all from the apartment, it takes ca. 50 minutes to the airport, and ca. 30 minutes to Beshiktash and only 12 minutes to the Ferry station Eminönü. The main tourist attractions are only a few minutes walk away from the apartment. The walk from or back to the apartment is fantastic. There is a little kiosk just under the apartment which has all essentials. Supermarkets are a bit further and you would have to walk for ca. 12/15 minutes. Restaurants are also only a few steps away. The coast of the sea can be reached in 5 minutes.
There was everything that is necessary in the apartment to feel comfortable including a fully equipped kitchen and a hair dryer attached to the wall in the bathroom. The place is ideal for a couple. For a shorter time it could also be perfect for a small family. Up to two more persons could sleep very well on the comfortable sofa which can turn into a kind of long double bed when pulled together. Heating of water and heater can be centrally regulated each and we turned them off every time not needed or when we left the apartment.
It is a cute place and we spent a wonderful time there and would always rent it again! We definitely can recommend it!
