Disappointing
Pros:

Very hospital staff with good English speaking

Cons:

It didn't have an elevator. The floorin parket was noisy.
They fill the fridge once instead of every day. The entrance door frame was broken, which made us pull the door very hard. The stairway lamps were not detecting humans to be illuminated .

Budget apartments that exceeded our expectations.
Pros:

We have been living in Turkey for about seven months and have managed to live in different cities.

The first positive point is the proactivity and friendliness of the staff. When our prepayment on the card did not go through, they immediately got in touch and helped solve the problem.

We arrived late and were met by the receptionist at the office, which is located just down the street from the apartment. He spoke English well, which is not often found here. As far as I understand, the staff works around the clock and is always available for communication.

The apartment was very clean, the walls were obviously newly painted. The bed linen was absolutely clean and spotless, although not new. We were especially pleased with the absence of the smell of cigarettes in the room (which is very rare in Turkey). It was nice to find a lot of towels, like in a nice hotel. Welcome bottles of water, cupcakes and coffee were waiting for us in the refrigerator — such care for the guests was very pleasant.

The apartment is conveniently located a 15-minute walk from Taksim metro station. We had a great time in Istanbul. Thank you!

Cons:

The only negative for me is the noise on the street at night on weekends. Good sound insulation is rare in Turkey, and it made it a little difficult to sleep. Therefore, I recommend people with light sleep to take earplugs if you are planning a trip to Turkey.

We arrived in Istanbul at night, and the street where the apartment is located at first seemed a little creepy to me. But the receptionist reassured us, explaining that there is a police station nearby and the area is safe.

We lived on the third floor, and I liked the view from the window of the authentic streets with hanging linen and balconies. However, if you look down at the sidewalk, there is quite a lot of garbage.

The stove in the kitchen turned out to be low—powered - we never waited for it to heat up. But it didn't matter to us.

Attentive and responsive team in the heart of Beyoğlu
Pros:

I had a really warm and confident welcome by the reception staff, and I was able to check in a few hours before the usual check in time. After a complimentary Turkish tea, I was taken to my apartment where I was encouraged to check the cleanliness of the place ... It was spotless! By the way, the offer of free tea in their Cafe Berry for a few hours each afternoon was a nice touch and I popped in a few times on my way in / out.
The apartment's fridge was stocked with complimentary water, coffee sachets and cakes; and the bathroom had large bottles of shampoo / soap [ environmentally conscious ], although I couldnt tell which was which as there were no markings on the bottles !
I asked for some more kitchen equipment to compliment what was already there, and within just a few minutes, a lady appeared with everything I requested, and more.
Whilst the central heating didnt pump out much heat, the air con unit made up for this; I was always warm. Finally, as this was a first for me in Turkey, its worth mentioing that each of the apartments had its own door security alarm which was set / unset using a fob on the key ring.
Finally, Istanbul is a city which runs 24/7, and nowhere will you really escape street noise. Here was no exception. If you are a light sleeper, like me, take some ear plugs !

Cons:

The WIFI was sluggish and sporadic at best, and was completely offline for 6 hours one evening. There did appear to be conflicts with the routers in the apartment block and I would frequently lose connection during audio / video calls. I fed this back seperately to the team for further investigation so shouldn't continue to be a concern.
This may be personal, but it must be noted that the streetlight directly outside the window did illuminate the bedroom a great deal at night .. [ See my pic taken at 4;30am ]. So, like I said, if you are a light sleeper, take an eye mask to match your ear plugs !

Pros:

Cheap price and near some great dinner restaurants

Cons:

Very noisy and run-down neighborhood. They buy or contract out many apartment buildings and turn them into overnight rentals. No staff on premise.
