Está bien para unos días en Estambul
Pros:

La habitación era espaciosa y estaba relativamente nueva. La ubicación es estupenda, al lado del Puente de Gálata. Tiene de todo lo necesario cerca.

Cons:

Las fotos distan bastante de la realidad. Además las ventanas no cierran bien y se escucha todo el ruido de la calle.

Pros:

Дуже хороше розташування. Особливо хочемо подякувати Йозефу з рецепції за оперативну і любязну допомогу і консультації. Нам все сподобалося. На самому верхньому поверсі виявився чудовий ресторанчик з красивим видом на Стамбул.

Cons:

Стеля у нашій кімнаті була у сумнівному стані. Добре, що не дощило

Great location
Pros:

The location of this property was fantastic

Cons:

I felt like the pictures sold a dream and maybe that was my own fault but we went for 3 standard rooms and they were tiny. The room I was personal I had problems with the shower doors and the toilet seem to always stink.

Not as expected. I don't recommend.
Pros:

Location, proximity to the tram.

Cons:

The lack of transparency. The description mentioned a city view, but this was not the case — there was another building directly in front of the apartment. The apartment was dark, the sofa was dirty, and it clearly needs some renovations, especially the bathroom. In the kitchen, one of the cabinets was about to fall off.

The photos on Booking do not accurately reflect the reality of the apartment. There was also an emergency exit door hidden behind a curtain in the bedroom, which was quite unusual and uncomfortable.

Our child started crying as soon as we arrived and said that she didn’t like the place. We still decided to stay because their cancellation policy did not allow us to get a refund. However, we ended up leaving one day earlier because the conditions were simply no longer acceptable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful stay
Pros:

I had a lovely stay at Karakoy Aparts and would definitely come back. Yousef was the first person I met and was incredibly helpful and accommodating, giving me great tips about the local area and landmarks.

Kaan and Ugur were also so friendly, and I really enjoyed our conversations. They always made sure I was okay and had everything I needed.

Excellent customer service and wonderful hospitality and great location, I will definitely be staying here again! ❤️🇹🇷

Cons:

Everything was great!
