  • Cleanliness: Generally described as clean and spacious in multiple reviews, though some notes about absence of included cleaning, slight odor on some towels and a recommendation to improve laundry service.
  • Service: Hosts repeatedly described as very responsive, helpful and quick to solve issues (fast replies, early check-in arranged, quick toilet/leak solutions).
  • Location: Consistently praised: excellent placement near Istiklal Caddesi and Galata Tower, good views and proximity to main attractions; lively neighborhood with many cafes.
  • Room Quality: Multiple negatives cited: leaks in the apartment, problems with the toilet/bathroom, worn bathroom/property, a squeaky bed and at least one review asking for a mattress replacement; low mansard ceiling can be problematic.
  • Amenities: Well-equipped apartments noted (full appliances, kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, big TV) and a very convenient large supermarket in the building.
  • Value for Money: Standard quality for this hotel tier.
  • Food and Beverage: No hotel restaurant mentioned but a convenient and large food shop/supermarket in the building is repeatedly highlighted as a positive.
  • Overall Experience: Overall positive guest sentiment with many praising the apartment, view and location and recommending the property despite a number of maintenance issues.

Watch out for: Apartment had leaks reported in multiple instances · Bed creaks; mattress reported as needing replacement · Bathroom/toilet issues and worn bathroom/property · No included cleaning service; laundry/towel service could be improved · Some towels had slight odour · Low mansard ceiling in places — headroom issues · Steep access/uphill approach (difficult for elderly) · Sofa not a true sofa-bed (small two-seater only)

Great location, spacious

Pillows and mattress not great. No cover for bedspread

Janelas anti ruído, não se escuta nada da rua, nem as preces nos altos falantes, máquina de lavar roupa e lava-louças.

Falta de um box que feche o espaço do chuveiro, somente uma parte e fechada e molhávamos o banheiro mesmo tomando cuidado.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Istanbul and would definitely stay here again on a future visit. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Galata Tower and surrounded by shops, restaurants, cafés, art stores, and a convenience store located right in the same building. Public transportation is also very close, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is modern, spacious, and very comfortable. It has all the amenities needed for a longer stay, including a washer, a comfortable bed, excellent water pressure in the shower, and a beautiful balcony with partial views of the Golden Horn and surrounding buildings. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. After long days of sightseeing, it was always nice to come back and relax here. The building has an elevator, which made carrying luggage much easier, especially since the apartment was on the fourth floor. What truly stood out was the host’s excellent communication and hospitality. I accidentally booked the wrong checkout date and needed an additional night. Although the apartment was no longer available, the host immediately arranged for us to stay in another apartment in the same building without hesitation. The replacement apartment was also very nice, and the seamless transition made our last night in Istanbul stress-free. Overall, we loved our stay. The combination of the fantastic location, comfortable accommodations, beautiful balcony, and outstanding host made this a great experience. I highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again on my next trip to Istanbul.
