Great apartment in Beyoğlu!!!

This is our first time in Istanbul and we loved staying here. It felt like home. Great location to explore Beyoğlu or take the tram to the sites. We will definitely stay here again. We can't say enough good things about the staff and the care.

I was very happy to stay here. Comfortable bed. The location is just perfect. Although very close to everything it was still a quiet neighborhood at night. Very good connections with public transportation. From the apartment to the port takes less that 10 minutes. Overall I would definitely stay here again when visiting Istanbul.

Die Unterkunft ist in Stadtteil Kasimpasa, was noch sehr authentisch geblieben ist. Die Unterkunft ist sehr modern eingerichtet und hat alles was man für einen Istanbul Aufenthalt benötigt. Zugang erfolgt mit einem App Schlüssel. In der Straße gibt es neben einer Bäckerei auch zwei Supermärkte und einen kleinen Laden wo ein tolles türkisches Bio-Frühstück bekommt. Man kann von dort per Bus oder mit der Fähre alles erreichen. Die istiklal Straße und der Taksim Platz sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir würden hier noch einmal übernachten. Danke auch Frau Irem, die für uns per WhatsApp immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereit war.

I had a lot of trouble locating the property and even the taxi drivers were not able to understand the exact location. We had almost reached a point that I had to look for another hotel and abandon the booking. Once the call happened. Everything fell in place, but I feel that there is a gap which needs to be addressed at your end.

This place is so lovely and looks very much like the pictures. The bed is comfortable and İrem (our host) was very helpful in providing extra bedding when requested. The room was lovely and clean and the building welcoming and secure. The area is very walkable, as long as you can manage hills. It's easy to get to İskelesi Street and to the Galata tower etc. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here.
