Wow! When I return to Istanbul, my husband and I are definitely staying here again! The apartment is spotless and extremely comfortable for long stays (we stayed 9 nights). The bathroom is spacious, well-lit, and warm (important in the winter!); the towel-warming rack is much appreciated. The kitchen was perfect for preparing simple dinners and was actually supplied well (unlike many other apartments we've rented) with pots, pans, cooking utensils, a variety of dishes and cups, and quality silverware. There's a toaster and electric kettle as well which we used a lot. The washing machine worked great, and clothes dried quickly on the radiators or on the heated rack in the bathroom. The two couches were both very comfortable (my husband even slept on one when the Islamic call to prayer was too loud in the bedroom, and he said it was very comfortable). The only thing - and you can't avoid this in Istanbul - is that the morning prayer at dawn is unavoidable and LOUD even with closed windows and doors. Not the fault of the apartment. The balcony overlooking the courtyard full of green plants was lovely, and I really appreciated the green plants in the living room, too! It was a very cozy and comfortable apartment. Ugur, who was our point of contact, was wonderful and very responsive. The cleaning lady was very sweet and stopped by every other day, so the apartment stayed immaculate. Plus, the location cannot be beat! It was so close to everything that we walked everywhere, even in the snow and rain. It's unusual to find such a NICE, and CLEAN, and spacious apartment right in the heart of everything - but this apartment is it! Highly recommend!
