We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The apartment is exactly as described: exceptionally clean, modern, and located in a perfect spot for exploring the city.The communication from the host was excellent from start to finish. They went above and beyond during our stay—even surprising me with a delicious birthday pastry, card, and candles, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated.A few tips for future guests:Transport: We highly recommend using the driver services offered by the host for airport transfers. They were prompt, very comfortable, and significantly more affordable and less stressful than trying to arrange your own transportation.The Hill: To save your legs from the steep hills of the neighborhood, be sure to use the F1 Funicular nearby. It’s a lifesaver and connects you easily to the tram and ferry lines without the climb.We couldn't have asked for a better "base of operations" in Istanbul. We would definitely stay here again!

The property was absolutely perfect for my wife and I. It is a new property with all new modern appliances in a good neighborhood about a 15 minute walk Taksim square. The local host was extremely helpful giving us recommendations for things to see and do, how to get around using the metro system and offering to assist at any time. The view of the bosphorusis great especially at night. There is a small market directly across the street for simple items, a wonderful fruit stand one block away, a full size market (Migros) about a 10 minute walk, and finally a coffee shop 50 meters away owned by a young entrepreneur who makes all her customers feel special. The place gets a 10 in my book - especially for a couple wanting a nice stay in Istanbul

Our stay was excellent! The apartment was just as advertised. Clean, modern and fully equipped. There is a fabulous view of the Bosphorus from the living room. The location is ideal. The T1 tram is just downhill and provides easy access to all the sites in the old city. Taksim Square is just uphill so there is easy access to groceries, restaurants and shopping. The host was gracious and helpful and even remembered our anniversary with a delicious welcome cake! Excellent!

Modern apartment with a great view. Quiet location with easy access to Metro, tram, boat, funicular, and buses. Istanbul is built on 7 hills so there are a lot of stairs within the city but the flat is downhill from Taksim Square. Our host was attentive and available daily for pleasantries or conversation. There is a convenience store practically across the street for essentials like water.Everything was clean and functional. The bed was firm and the shower was excellent. There are A/C units in the main room and the bedroom and a window in the bathroom. I highly recommend this flat.
