I lost a piece of my heart in this lovely and busy Istanbul. I will be back, and will never stay in any other place. One
Pros:

Location, location, location! It was perfectly situated, we could walk everywhere. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The highlight, though, was our host Iram. She was so friendly, always available to assist and nothing seemed too much of an effort for her. She really was just amazing!

Cons:

Nothing

Bellissimo appartamento. Se dovessi tornare a Istanbul, lo sceglierei nuovamente.
Pros:

Posizione strategica in una zona bellissima della città che può essere ogni giorno un punto di partenza per esplorare vari quartieri. L’appartamento pur non essendo grande è estremamente accogliente, molto luminoso e accuratamente arredato.

Cons:

A voler essere molto esigenti, si potrebbe chiedere una piccola scodella e un asciugamano per la cucina. Per il resto c’era tutto l’occorrente per due persone.

Great location, clean room
Pros:

Great location! Accommodation has all amenities necessary for a long stay.

Cons:

Our apartment was the next floor from the restaurant which closes after midnight. Noise of dishes and staff could be heard at times til very late at nights through the emergency exit door located in our apartment.

We are very thankful to Vera , we had a wonderful stay !
Pros:

The location is very central, it’s in Istiklal street itself. The apartment has all the facilities you need to cook and relax, it has ample space to store your luggage and stuff. And wow, the view is fantastic, the apartment that we had was facing the sea!

Cons:

Nothing .

Otherwise a very convenient great apartment if not for the unbearable noise level from the street
Pros:

Super convenient location with stores and restaurants literally downstairs and across the street. Good amenities. Helpful check-in and check-out instructions from the host.

Cons:

Very noisy, sometimes all the way until early in the morning (like 1am or so). We had trouble sleeping. I contacted the host about it via WhatsApp, hoping they have a different unit that we could move to, but the host didn't even bother to respond to me. We would have understood it if they simply didn't have anything quieter, but ignoring our request just wasn't acceptable.
