A little gem in the heart of the city

It is very clean - no dust at all! The location is fantastic!! We walked everywhere, including the Grand Bazaar from the apartment.
Cons: Nothing.

Loved living like a local in beautiful, old-but-renovated apartment in a perfect location! 😊
Pros: We loved the location: in the heart of Galata / Beyoglu but in a quiet charming street just 80m from the action ! A beautiful apartment in old building that has been renovated so is very comfortable. We felt like we were living like locals. Loved rooftop patio at sunset: stunning views. Our host was wonderful - very friendly and responsive
Cons: Recycling in the neighbourhood ( not the host’s fault).

I’m very happy to stay there for three days , unforgettable experience
Pros: Very good location. It’s big and clean with modern decoration. There’s a very big supermarket nearby so it’s very convenient for us to buy some vegetables, eggs and fruits, especially figs, very fresh. The landlord is very considerate. I really like the girl who is a university student. She helped us to return the car since the road in Istanbul is very difficult to drive. By the way, there’s a terrace with amazing view. I like everything in the apartment.

Pros: The location was excellent — easy to access to major attractions ( tram stations nearby, close to galata tower), yet tucked away on a quiet street without the usual tourist crowds. We loved being surrounded by charming small cafés, great restaurants, and local shops, and the nearby mini market was super convenient. The owner was incredibly kind and always easy to reach whenever we had questions. Overall, a perfect base for exploring the city with a comfortable, local feel. The flat was also very clean and well equipped with everything we needed, washing machine, iron, dishes etc.
Cons: The shower drain was not perfect but not a major issue. Like many places in Istanbul, the windows were quite thin, so you can hear some noise from outside. Also, the curtains were quite light, so the room gets bright early in the morning. If you're sensitive to light or noise, it might be a good idea to bring an eye mask and earplugs.

Wonderful Experience and a Great Host
Pros: I can honestly say this was one of the best places I've stayed at recently during a holiday. The flat was incredible and had everything we needed. The owner, Sevim, is a truly charming person—always attentive and ready to help with anything we needed. If I return to Istanbul, there's no doubt I will book this place again. Thank you!

No os perdais las vistas desde la azotea!
Pros: Nos hemos sentido como en casa. El apartamento está equipado con todo lo necesario y la ubicación es inmejorable, a solo un minuto de la Torre de Gálata (literalmente). La casera es súper atenta y, a la llegada, encontramos frutas y agua. Un 10. ¡Volveremos!
Cons: Nada!

Pros: Un séjour inoubliable à deux pas de la tour de Galata !** Cet appartement est une véritable pépite : spacieux, bien équipé propre, et surtout chargé d’histoire familiale qui lui donne une âme unique. On sent tout de suite le charme du lieu, imprégné des souvenirs d’enfance des propriétaires. L’emplacement est idéal pour découvrir Istanbul, avec la tour de Galata à quelques pas et tous les incontournables accessibles facilement. Une terrasse sur le toit de l’immeuble pr voir le tout Istanbul magnifique Mention spéciale à la propriétaire, d’une gentillesse rare et toujours disponible pour ses hôtes. Grâce à elle, notre séjour a été encore plus agréable. Si je retourne à Istanbul, ce sera sans hésitation ici. Je recommande vivement cet appartement : c’est **le meilleur rapport qualité-prix** que vous puissiez trouver dans la ville.
