Guest Reviews
- Nuria (10/5): Como en casa o mejor - El apartamento tiene de todo como si estuvieras en tu casa o incluso más. Lavavajillas, lavadora, secadora, sofá, utensilios para cocinar… También un balconcito con vistas al mar aunque el tiempo no nos acompañó para usarlo, una pena. Se sube por escaleras y el nuestro era el tercer piso, por si a alguien le incomoda. La calle no es especialmente bonita pero en el entorno puedes moverte fácilmente a sitios de interés. En general quedamos contentos con todo. Solo en el baño se escuchaba nítidamente a los vecinos, tiene una especie de rendija y quizá era por ahí que entraba el sonido y coincidió que había algún niño pequeño que gritaba.
- Evgeny (10/5): - Everything,simply Everything Nothing
- Juncal (10/5): Como en casa - Acogedor, luminoso, espacioso para dos personas. Tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar. Cama y sofá confortables. Vistas al mar. A 5 min del Tranvía 1, a otros 5 de la mezquita azul. Con supermercados cerca, restaurantes y tiendas en general. Calle muy tranquila pero al lado del bullicio. La comunicación excelente. No se me ocurre un sitio mejor para pasar una semana en la ciudad. Observación: el acceso es por escalera de caracol, sin ascensor. Todo perfecto.
- Joël (10/5): Top verblijf - Erg goede locatie, schoon appartement, prachtig uitzicht met een fijn balkon. Goede faciliteiten Bedden zijn ietsjes wat hard
- Wenqi (9/5): 总体很满意! - 就在老城中心,在房间里就可以看到海景。公寓很宽敞整洁,洗澡水也很舒服,洗衣机和烘干机一应俱全。距离蓝色清真寺步行10分钟,距离电车站步行7分钟,周围有很多性价比很高的餐厅。推荐一下my home kebab, 露台的风景棒极了,餐品味道也很好! 洗衣机的洗涤剂槽需要定期清理一下。
- Stefan (10/5): Excelent choice for a visit to the old city. - Good location, very well appointed, wonderful view towards the Sea of Marmara, very helpful hosts either prompt answers to any questions. As mentioned in the booking description, there is no elevator, so people with limited mobility should not book a unit.
- dina (10/5): - Были в Стамбуле с 2.01 по 8.01.26. Букинг предоставил нам трансфер до квартиры- спасибо! Квартира в старой части города- узкие улицы, невысокие дома, первые этажи сплошь в магазинчиках и лавочках . Есть небольшие супермаркеты. Общепит на каждом углу и чаще. В шаговой доступности исторические достопримечательности, набережная, а из окон зала квартиры вид на залив Золотой рог и Босфор. Квартира очень уютная и удобная. Нас встретил консьерж Кемал, занёс чемоданы в квартиру, всё объяснил и показал. Спасибо хозяину- мы имели возможность попить чай- кофе сразу как зашли. Пребывание в Стамбуле пролетело незаметно. Если не придираться к мелочам всё было отлично. В день отъезда хозяин- Аслан разрешил остаться нам до 15 часов (так как у нас вылет был поздно)- бесплатно. Провожал нас Кемал- и опять помог с чемоданами.Так что мы остались очень довольны. Спасибо!!!
- Vanessa (9/5): Una vista mozzafiato sul Bosforo - - L'appartamento di Aslan si trova nel cuore di Sultanameth a un quarto d'ora a piedi dalle principali attrazioni da visitare.
- La casa sita al terzo piano e, a differenza di ciò che si legge nelle recensioni, non è pesante raggiungerlo.
- La vista sul balcone è spettacolare e farci colazione ti regala un ricordo indelebile.
- Aslan provvede a tutto : ci sono persino lavatrici, ferro da stiro e detersivi.
- Il letto è comodo e la stanza molto silenziosa.
- Ho apprezzato soprattutto la comunicazione con Aslan : durante il soggiorno, c'è stato un'interruzione di acqua di 24ore e lui ha portato di suo litri d'acqua per contrastare. - Se dovessi scegliere nuovamente casa a Istanbul non tornerei mai in quel punto troppo turistico e molto caro rispetto ad altri quartieri come Balat ad esempio.
Ma questo non c'entra con la qualità del mio soggiorno.
- L'unica cosa problematica è stata l'acqua calda che andava e veniva e l'interruzione totale di erogazione durante un giorno intero.
- Tatiana (9/5): - Чудесные апартаменты, находятся на 3 этаже, с потрясающим видом на Мраморное море. В пешей доступности до всех достопримечательностей.
В квартире чистое постельное белье, белые полотенца, на кухне вся посуда, тряпочки, губки, фейри, соль, чайно-кофейный набор, 2 бутылки воды. В ванной все есть, включая порошок и кондиционер, поразило наличие сушильной машины, перестирали свои вещи. Хозяин заботливо приготовил в квартире все для путешественников.
Квартира очень теплая и уютная, уезжали с грустью.
Прекрасный вай-фай, летает. Матрас на двуспальной кровати был просевший, пружины давили в спину. Мне с моей больной спиной было тяжело на нем спать, было бы хорошо его заменить.
Ванная комната и кухня уже уставшие, но полная комплектация оснащения перекрывают это.
Мы бы с удовольствием вернулись еще
- Sylvie (10/5): Excellent séjour, personne sympathique, appartement à proximité des incontournables. - Le logement est tres bien situé, proche des sites à visiter, commerces à proximité, proprietaire sympathique et tres arrangeant. Nous avons passé une trés bonne semaine. Je recommande.
- Anton (8/5): - Good location, nice sea view, very friendly and attentive host.
The rooms are clean, the apartment has everything to stay even longer. Some things need fixing or replacement. The sink in the bathroom is inclined, the doors on the kitchen shelves are peeling out, and the table below the TV needs replacement.
- Vojtěch (10/5): -
- Anastasia (9/5): - Объект размещения полностью соответствует описанию. Прекрасный вид из окна, балкон, хорошие матрасы - основное, что могу отметить.
Хочется отметить, что лестница винтовая и лифта нет. Также бывают перебои с горячей водой по утрам.
- Doroteya (9/5): Perfect location in Fatih - The apartment is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The host is very helpful, disposable and provides valuable information. The appartment has a terrace with beautiful view over the Bosphorus. The location is excellent- within walking distance of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace. Everything was fine
- Darren (9/5): Everything went well and the host was excellent with communication. We didn't require anything more. - The location and the view. All the facilities we needed were there also. Nothing in particular
- John (9/5): Great accommodation in perfect location - Location in the old part of the city was walking distance to main sites.
- Jonathan (10/5): Perfection! - Beautiful views! Amazing to wake up every day and look out over the Marmara and end the day with a glass of wine or tea on the gorgeous balcony. Aslan and Gulnar were amazing and communicative the whole way! Check in and check out was so easy and nice and they are wonderful people.
As others have stated, it is a fifth floor walkup. This wasn't a surprise when we booked (it says it in the description) and there is nothing the hosts can do about the construction of a building! However, if you're not in good shape or have mobility issues, you should be prepared!
The area is top notch and near all the attractions for "first timers." I REALLY appreciated the book they put together with recommendations, warnings about certain things, and sights to see! The place is absolutely lovely and we look forward to booking when we come to Istanbul again! Nothing. We loved, loved, loved it!
- Gabriela (10/5): Good spot, comfy, quiet yet very central if you're staying near the Grand Bazaar and the Blue Mosque - The view was lovely, the person who greeted us didn't speak English but Aslan did and he was on the phone so everything went smoothly. I appreciated the booklet and the information sent to us before arrival. All the facilities were really good. The entire building has Aslan apartments. We were on the second floor and the stair wasn't a problem for us but I can understand it may be an issue if you're on the top floor.
- Mazin (8/5): It was pleasant 😊 - Its near everything you want in Sultanahmet, very classic place and if you like classic things it will be the perfect place to stay, but if you prefer modern places so i dont recommend it for you. The stairs!
Giving the fact that Istanbul is not flat and you need to climb the narrow streets to reach the place, you still need to climb the stairs to reach the apartment
- Abdul (7/5): Good - Location was awesome. No elevators, the stairs were crammed and unstable/noisy.
- Ping (9/5): Good experiences. - Very good location, good apartment, clean and nice. Walking distance to the Blue Mosque. Aslan is willing to help at any time. It is very difficult to park the car, looks like everyone have the same problem.
- Ângela (9/5): Comfortable stay in the heart of Istanbul - We traveled with our 1,5 year old and stayed in the penthouse apartment. The location was great, very close to the Grand Bazaar and in walking distance of most great attractions. The apartment was comfortable and very well equipped. The spacious balcony has an amazing unobstructed view over the Bosphorus and was great for relaxing in the evening without disturbing the baby after she went to sleep.
And yes, it is a 4th floor with no elevator, but honestly the stairs were not that bad and we were climbing them twice a day with a baby (but we do have a lightweight compact stroller).
If visiting Istanbul again, would love to stay here again. The one thing I would change is the room curtains to some black-out ones to keep the room dark, specially in the summer time when the sun raises early.
- Frank (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, perfect manager, perfect janitor.
- Olga (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Great panoramic windows overlooking the Bosphorus. Everything was perfect! Nothing)
- Linda (9/5): Superb - Second time staying here: comfortable, clean, good location yet quiet, beautiful view of sea of Marmara and Princes Islands. Very responsive and accommodating hosts. Needs night light above front door of building for those arriving after dark, but nothing to do with the accommodation itself.
- Kseniia (9/5): Comfortable place with nice view and helpful staff - Nice place close to all main attractions, including Sofia, Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Cistern and much more. Good sea view. Excellent helpful staff. Kitchen with every facility, two rooms, balcony Internet broke in the last day, but Aslan tried to help and even offer a compensation for using our mobile internet. Couldn’t find capsules for coffee machine in nearby shops.
- Alison (9/5): Superb -
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous view, quiet, basic, but well appointed and comfortable.
- Khalaf (9/5): Great place to stay in the heart of Istanbul. - Clean, secure, nice view WiFi went down temporarily but quickly resolved
- Monika (7/5): We had a pleasant stay with a few negative things. - Property was near to many major tourist attractions. There was an AC.
Balcony had a nice view to the sea.
Friendly owners. Comfortable beds. When we arrived, we were told there is problems with electricity in bathroom, and that we will not able to close the door to bathroom because there was a cable going were the door should close. That was a little annoying because there was an unpleasant sewer smell coming from WC. Later on, we tried using the washing machine and when we turned it on, it made very loud noise and released a bunch of sparks and started smoking. We got really scared and immediately called owners, they did not pickup so we called person who greeted us and I guess who where working there. We got and apology and were told that the washing machine was probably the reason why the electricity was not working in bathroom. And we got also a replacement washing machine. In my opinion, there was other stuff that also needed replacement, because it was broken or too old. (Lamp near sofa was unstable and looked like it will break every time you touched it, bath was collecting water when you shower, lots of kitchen counter door were squeaky, refrigerator was making noises all night, sleeping room light was very dim and bed side cabinet drawers were falling out, etc.)
Also the appartament floor was not very clean on arrival. We even found some old medication lying on floor near eating table. Which wad not very safe because we were travelling with a small child.
- Lisa (7/5): Having said all this I would definitely return - Location is very central.
The host booked me a taxi to take me to the bus station The steps to the apartment
This apartment could be exceptional with a few tweaks
Needs a new shower head the one in the apartment has a leak and sprays water everywhere.
Needs a new rug the one in the flat is threadbare
The chair in the sunroom needs replacing
Needs a new ironing board cover
Not all the lightbulbs worked
- Aya (8/5): Good to stay - I stayed on the top floor so the view was amazing. I could see the beautiful sea from the room. I would like to stay here when I come to Istanbul next time. And the owner is very kind. There is no elevator so it is hard to go up to the room with suitcase. Also the way to the nearest station has steep slope.
- Clare (9/5): This was a great place to stay for sightseeing in Istanbul. It was a very good quality apartment. - Very clean and nicely decorated apartment with everything that we needed. It was perfectly located within walking distance from all the main tourist sites. The hosts were extremely helpful in everything.
- Florian (10/5): Exceptional - Large, spacious,good value for money.
Owner very helpful!
- Ras1 (9/5): I can only recommend. - Nice neighborhood (quiet, away from crowds) but may be problematic if you travel with kids. Grand bazaar, agia Sofia are very close. So is the tram. No problems with logistics.
The view is great. Especially when you get back home after a tiring day.
The host was very attentive and helpful!
Mind the stairs. We walked 25-30 thousand steps daily and going up to the apartment was our final challenge. We managed because we knew that the apartment is nice and waiting for us
- Luca (9/5): Superb -
- Elena (10/5): The apartment is very comfortable, there was everything we need to spend time in Istanbul with kids. the location is gre - lokalizacja, Kontakt z właścicielem, udogodnienia
- Florian (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment, clean and cozy. And an amazing location for sightseeing.
