Great apartment in the tourist center

The apartment itself was awesome! 3 bedrooms with 2 toilets is hard to find in any old city center. The price and quality of the apartment are hard to beat. The location was great for the proximity to all the main tourist sites. We also liked having a small grocery shop right under the apartment. We visited the owner at least once a day the entire trip. The only downside is that all the restaurants on the street are very pricey touristy spots. To find some real local restaurants you have to walk away from the area. Overall a good apartment.

Perfect Location

I don't think there could be a better place to stay for a person's first visit to Istanbul. It is in walking distance to all of the major sights to see in Sultanahmet, and there are restaurants and shops at the foot of the stairs. Akbiyik Street, where the apartment is located, is very busy, but since the apartment is on the second floor (third floor U.S.), we were far enough from the noise so as not to be disturbed by it. The windows were great at muffling the noise, and we were never awakened by the call to prayer at around 4:30 am. The apartment itself is clean and well--organized, with plenty of space to be comfortable. I cannot comment on the kitchen since we never used it (why would you while in Istanbul?!), and the beds were comfortable. Elif was great with communication, and was able to arrange convenient airport transfers for us. If we come back to Istanbul we will want to stay at this apartment.

Asked to be moved

Lauren, both apartments were not good. We moved to a first floor apartment but bathroom leaked, wall was open for pipe repair. Water heater did not work properly, was difficult to arrange the water in shower. There was a very small TV in living room. Your price was more than double of the equal places around. Places were mispresented in VRBO web site.

Sleepless in Istanbul

Perfect location! Overall, the property was very comfortable and cozy; Clean and white extra towels and bed linen. Dish soap, washing powder, toilet paper, paper towel, cleaning supplies. Romantic bedroom with a lovely glow from the red curtains in the mornings.Plenty of coat hangers.Clean and crisp cotton sheets and lovely Turkish bedspreads. Very nice hosts who responded to our requests in a timely way. Elif"s father came to sort out the drain and hot water issues within minutes and a frying pan was delivered almost immediately upon request. He was an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much since my husband loves eggs for breakfast. This is a fantastic location!. We arrived late at night and Elif and Marco were gracious enough to meet us at the apartment. We were very grateful. We stayed for three weeks but we had two problems: Sadly, the kitchen was very dirty and took hours to clean. Toilet and shower also needed clean. We spend our lives traveling so are used to these things, but disappointing. Nothing bleach and elbow grease can't fix. BIG problem were the young men in the apartment below who made significant noise EVERY SINGLE NIGHT during the quiet hours for the entire three weeks. Marco and Elif did their best to contact the owners of the apartment but nothing worked. Loud shouting for hours on end, doors slamming throughout the night, glass smashing, burning of "stuff" out on the stairway and coming into our apartment, men coming and going all night. We loved the apartment. We loved Istanbul. We loved hearing the Call to Prayer. The young men below are spoiling the apartment for Elif and Marco to rent. We loved your place but we were exhausted after three weeks without a good night's sleep. We know you did your best. Thanks for the offer of a move but we really didn't want to move two more times within a week. Hope you can get those guys sorted. We know it wasn't your fault. Thanks for all the guide books. They were of great help. We will return and would stay here again if its quiet at night. Good luck and thank you. Fantastic location! Couldn't be better!
