location is great, the apartment is way more than we expected and the owner is very professional

This apartment was amazing And it's even looks way way and more better when you walk in I was surprised when I walked in it looked so clean so amazing everything is close to the apartment the shopping center Texem square Galata Tower And a lot more .. I had a very very beautiful experience with this place with my family and special thanks to David who I text and talked to him before he was very helpful and answer all my questions And also to the old man his name is suleyman He was very friendly and my husband enjoying sitting with him every morning drinking tea and coffee they became a very friendly we love them so much and thank you so much David And in the future if I went back to Istanbul I would stay in the same apartment and I would recommend it to everyone I give 5 stars for this place

Host was very helpful in ensuring that our check-in and stay went well. The apartment was very clean and in a great location. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful place . I would highly reccomend it. We have a toddler, and it was safe , and clean . Just perfect, and all the help you need with luggage etc.

How many properties have you visited with a water cooler included? Bottled cold and hot water at your fingertips? Amazing. A brilliant solution in any country where the tap water might be questioned. This is but one example of the host’s thorough attention to detail in making available an apartment that meets every need, is spotless, well equipped, and comfortable. Add to that a communications network of on the scene personnel who even help with the luggage, and you have an overall experience that is world class at a reasonable price. Highest recommendation.

This is my second visit and I would definitely stay again. Coming to Orient Pearl apartment in Istanbul is like coming home. It is a very cosy well equipped and comfortable space. It is located on the third floor but the stairs are wide and easy to climb. And Suleyman is always there to lend a helping hand with cases or grocery bags. After A long day of sightseeing and shopping it’s a delight to return back to a peaceful, quiet apartment.

Dealing with David and then Ugur was always easy and timely. All the advice and help they gave me was spot-on. On our arrival we were met by Suleyman, and he helped with our bags and showed us around the apartment. He was never far away as he runs the teashop in the lobby, always ready to help with hailing a cab or replacing water for the cooler. The apartment was spotlessly clean with everything we could possibly need. Washer dryer, hairdryer, dishwasher microwave et cetera. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable the beds were heavenly! I travel to Istanbul frequently will stay here again without hesitation.

The apartment is great, very clean and in a perfect area

I would give this place 10 out of 10 It was clean, spacious, great price and super close to everything you want. Historic istiglal st. Is steps away this is where you can find good food and if no covid good entertainment. Thanks to David we had great time in our three weeks stay. Property manager (solayman bey) was very helpful and a very nice gentleman. We will definitely go back next year. Thank you again David for your super hospitality. Amir and Serveh

Our stay in Istanbul was amazing! The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and clean. It had all the necessary amenities. David and Stacy are very accommodating host. The check in process was easy. We are very thankful that we were even allowed to check in early morning. The apartment is located in a great location. I would highly recommend this apartment.

David’s apartment was even more appealing than described in the listing and from what can be gathered through the photos. I had an excellent stay with my family, full praise and no complaints. I would recommend this apartment to anyone.

Accurate listing, clean, spacious, comfortable, relaxing, good quality linens, had everything we needed. 1 min walk to pedestrian only, main street, for shopping, restaurants. We walked to the historic sites across the bridge, to mosque, grand bizarre etc, but for those who prefer public transportation that is available too. We travelled in November, perfect weather/temp. Depending on traffic Cab can take 1hr. It's a busy city, people very friendly.

The apartment was very spacious. The decor was a good mix of modern and traditional Turkish tastes. It was close to good restaurants, shopping, taxis, and the Metro subway. All plumbing fixtures were excellent and in good working order. The second bedroom had its own bathroom and was at the opposite end of the apartment. Someone was available to help getting in. While the apartment is on the third floor with no elevator, the stairs were wide. The only problem we had was that we didn’t want to leave! I highly recommend this apartment for your Istanbul stay.

We were very impressed with your lovely apartment. Clean stylish and spacious. Bedrooms , kitchen and bedrooms well appointed and laid out. Very comfortable. Quiet apartment and neighbourhood. We liked the fact that it was in a central position , close to shops, restaurants, bars and vibrant nightlife. Using the metro and trams from Taksim Square we could travel very easily to al the tourist sites and all over the city. I especially liked taking the tram to the outskirts of the old city and walking along the Land Walls of Theodosius II. Another highlight was the cruise up the Bosphorous. Ugur and Suleyman were helpful. But I did not have to contact them very much. My first visit to Istanbul( and certainly not my last) went very well. And the apartment helped us to feel at home in the city. I intend to book your apartment again probably next year with a friend from UK. Thank you for letting us stay in your apartment. Best regards from Ian and Mahbobeh.

I would like to thank MR. David the owner , he was very helpful to give us valuable information , he always available any time for any questions. The apartment clean /organized / safe/ , walking distance to Main Street in Taksim also 10-15 min walking to subway . Taxi available any time please use application BiTaxi to avoid extra fees. Renting a car is not a good idea , parking very limited and expensive. I recommend very highly Mr. David businesses, very professional and decent man to deal with.

The Orient Pearl is in a great location steps away from Iskalal Street and the busy night life of the new side of Istanbul. It was also convenient to take the tram to other parts of the city. The amenities of this 2 bed/2 bath are fabulous. The matched marble tiled baths are beautiful and made us feel like we were living in style. The kitchen was well appointed. There was fresh bottled water provided through a dispenser with both hot and cold. There was also an in unit washer dryer that made packing easy since we could wash our on clothes during the stay. We enjoyed sitting in the living area where there was TV with many cable channel options including some in English. I would and have recommended this apartment to friends. This was definitely a great place to stay in Istanbul.

Convenience, location, comfort,well equipped and reliable owner and assistants on the ground!

By far the best apartment hands down I've ever stayed at overseas or anywhere for that matter. The pictures do not do this place justice, this apartment has everything even the laundry soap made available. Lets also not forget David, Ugur, and Sulyeman just amazing folks to deal with, they are a well tuned machine, anything or any question they will gladly assist you no crazy the question. Of course your near everything on Istikilal st. you really could stay on this street for your whole trip, but the metro and the bus system will take you anywhere you want to go. I can see why this apartment is coveted by many folks, please go ahead and book this place with no hesitation in your heart or wallet, it is beyond worth it, and can't wait till the next stay at this wonderful place, love the whole layout especially the front bedroom it's like having your own apartment in the apartment , so quiet from the rest of the apartment, great for the third wheel individual or couple and or teenagers in your party/group. For those of you who mentioned/denounced the stairs in previous reviews, if my Mom with 2 bad knees who is 71 could do it, so can you , they are not even worth mentioning so climb some steps it's worth it for sure. And, yes everything and I mean everything is a short walk away, can't wish or ask for for anything more . Thank you David, Ugur, Sulyeman for your hospitality and help. To those of you still looking to book, go ahead and book it with no hesitation and no worry you will be delighted at what a great researcher and choice you made in booking with the Orient Pearl team.

In the middle of everything. Shops Bars, Restaurants,historic buildings, street buskers, thousands of people on your door step but the apartment is relaxing and so peaceful. Thank you Suleyman for all your help. Thank you David for a wonderful booking experience. Answering all our questions. I will be recommending Istanbul and your apartment to everyone.

The apartment looks just like the pictures online. The home was spacious and was stocked with all the things you need; plates, pots, water cooler, towels, etc. You are a short walk from one of the main streets and there are numerous places to eat within less than 1 km. I will definitely stay at the apartment again.

Best location so close to everything. wonderful food right over the road. Love walking round the side streets. Thank you David for wonderful recommendations. We will not hesitate to come back and stay at your place again. Guy

This apartment is better equipped than my place back home lol. The kitchen has everything but we didn't eat in as there are so many good choices close by and so reasonable. Public transport is efficient and clean. We had a wonderful time.

We were in the middle of everything, the location is amazing. We didn't spend much time in the apartment as Istanbul is such a interesting and vibrant city. BUT it was a delight to return home to, so quite and peaceful.
