Nice place
The apartment was very nice, clean, and the terrace was very charming. It is a little noisy, as one side faces the road and another side faces a university, but it didn’t bother us much. The host was communicative and responded fast when we needed. The only thing we didn’t like was the neighborhood, but it is safe and 10 minutes drive to everything in Istanbul. We would recommend the place to other guests.

Great Apartment Very Close to Everything
Wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There's a tram across the street and buses down the block that will bring you anywhere you wish to go. The beds are comfortable and the roof deck was amazing. Two things to be aware of: the two bedrooms that face the street can be loud (Istanbul does not sleep!), and the back bedroom smells of old cigarette smoke. I was not always aware of it while I was there (and the rest of the apartment didn't seem to smell as strongly of smoke), but when I got home and unpacked, my clothing smelled very strongly of smoke (I am not a smoker). That said, I would stay in the apartment again in a heartbeat. It was so close to everything and incredibly convient.

What an amazing Terrace
Stayed here for 5 days with friends and it was great. The beds are comfy and clean and the apartments had all the amenities we needed. The terrace is exactly as pictured and had an amazing view and comfy seats to sit a chat with friends. Easy to get into and Murat was really helpful and replied quickly to all messages. The location is a little bit out from the attractions but there is a regular tram right outside that takes you into them. Taxis are reasonably priced and lots go past the front door all the time that you can hail. There is a corner store for food and alcohol near by and a could of friendly places to eat. Overall very pleased and would definitely recommend to others - particularly a group of friends.
