A Jewel in the Heart of it All

Date of Stay: 05/12/11

At the top of a steep, unasuming stairwell off Akbiyik Street sits a jewel of an apartment. The apartment is well appointed and could not be more convinient to everthing you want to see in the old district. It felt like coming home while we exhauted ourselves seeing the sights. We could pop in and out during the day because it was so centrally located and we were rarely far away. Public transportation is nearby. There are just too many awsome things about Istanbul to even begin. It must be experienced. We will try to stay at this apartment again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

One additional Suggestion: - the beds were not terribly comfortable, but this could easily be remedied with some memory foam mattress toppers

I stayed at the apartment with 2 other friends for a week during our first visit to Istanbul. Overall, it was a great experience! Pros: - Spacious - Clean - Excellent location for first time visitors to Istanbul, since it is on a street with many other hotels and restaurants geared towards tourists, as well as being in easy walking distance to all the sights in Sultanahmet - Quiet: I slept with the windows closed in the room with 2 beds and never heard a sound from outside; I was surprised since the apartment is so close to the Blue Mosque, but I never even heard the early morning call to prayer. Nor did I hear any traffic or noise from the street -Amenities included: towels, washer/dryer in suite, iron & ironing board, hair dryer, air conditioning (separate controls for each room!), lots of travel books about Istanbul & Turkey that can be used during your stay, TV & DVD (including some English-language DVDs) & stereo Suggestions: - More detailed, written instructions for how to use the washer/dryer; it is a European style machine which us North Americans were not used to, so it took us awhile to figure it out. Although I had received a quick 20 second inservice on how to use it from Marco when I arrived, it turned out not to be sufficient - May be time to invest in a new ironing board +/- iron: the legs on the ironing board were very wonky and so it didn't sit properly, making ironing difficult. The iron also tended to leak water - Avoid the private airport transfer service offered by Elif & Marco unless you're absolutely stuck: they told me a taxi one way from Atakurk airport to Sultanahmet would cost me 40 euro, and they charged me 35 euro for a private transfer. In fact, friends of ours were staying at a hotel on the same street as the apartment and paid only 15 euro each way for their taxi to/from the airport, and Backpackers Travel down the street from the apartment offers private airport transfers to/from Atakurk for 20 euro each way (or 4 euro per person if you take the Backpackers Travel shuttle)
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
