Guest Reviews
- Timothy (8/5): Good location and apartment overall - Great location for the main sights in and around Istanbul central. Our host, Furkan was very friendly and helpful, keen to make our stay the best it could be. The Hamman style bathroom was welcoming after a day of walking/ visiting all that Istanbul has to offer. The apartment was kept clean via daily maid visits and towels etc were changed regularly. The views from the terrace were good, even if a little in the distance. A little short on storage/ hanging space, such that many of our clothes had to stay in our suitcase. Overall, the apartment is 'snug' - perfectly adequate for two people, but not much spare space.
- Emanuel (9/5): - Clean and cozy apartment located near important attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Wilbreizh (9/5): Super contact avec le propriétaire et très bon emplacement de la Loc. -
- jordan (10/5): -
- Tomasz (10/5): - A fantastic location for a first-time Istanbul experience, with a terrace overlooking the Bosphorus on one side and the minarets of the Blue Mosque on the other. Many attractions are within a short walk. The low vaulted ceiling by the door. It's hard to count how many times we've encountered it. The apartment is a bit cramped for three people, more suitable for a couple.
- Ana I (4/5): Alejaos de Sultanahmet - El apartamento está a unos minutos de la mezquita azul. Las sabanas son de calidad y la cama es cómoda.
La anfitriona se esforzó por solventar unos pequeños problemas que tuvimos y estuvo pendiente todo el rato. Sin embargo, el apartamento no cumple con las expectativas. Este mensaje/recomendación no es solo para el apartamento, sino para todo Sultanahmet. Es un TOURIST TRAP, todo el barrio en general (tiendas, apartamentos, restaurantes, etc.), con precios desorbitados y con unas valoraciones lejos de la realidad y la veracidad.
En lo que respecta al apartamento, si tenéis en cuenta los estándares españoles no le daría más de un 4 ó 5.
Es un apartamento en una boardilla, con una cocina vieja y limpieza la justa, no estaba sucio pero tampoco limpio.
Nos dejaron de "obsequio" un plato de frutos secos encima de la cama rancios y con un dedo de polvo el plato. Los platos de la cocina estaban sucios, los cojines tenían manchas... las toallas raspaban, aunque tanto toallas como sabanas estaban limpias y olían bien.
No sé quien habrá escrito estos comentarios en Booking, pero este apartamento no vale lo que cuesta (+120€ noche) y de puntuación es un 5. Jamás volvería ni al apartamento ni a dormir en el barrio.
Es mi segunda vez en Estambul y Karakoy u otros barrios son muchos mejores.
- Carole (9/5): - Localisation parfaite dans l hypercentre d Istanbul. Très bon accueil avec des petites attentions. Appartement très propre.
- Christian (8/5): Toller Urlaub ISTANBUL - Tolle Lage, sehr zentral, die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe
- Monika (10/5): Family sightseeing tour in Istanbul. - Staying here was perfect for our short trip to Istanbul! The location couldn’t be better—just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and even the Bosphorus promenade. There are restaurants and shops right around the corner (a bit pricey though), but we found cheaper spots just a few streets away. Also, there’s a supermarket (SOK) near the Blue Mosque where you can shop at normal prices.
The apartment itself is small but just right for our family of three. The bed in the bedroom is super comfortable, the sofa is a bit short but okay, The ceiling is indeed pretty low, but it didn’t bother us at all. The bathroom—with its heated floors and walls—was amazing, and the terrace with its incredible views of the Bosphorus and Blue Mosque was a highlight. Everything was clean, neat, and decorated with charming Turkish ornaments.
Our host, Kubilay, was really friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the little baklava treats that came with the cleaning service 😊. All in all, a wonderful base for exploring Istanbul with the family! The terrace furniture was a bit worn but perfectly usable.
- Jesse (10/5): - The host was lovely! Great location with all the amenities you need, including a washing machine.
Would stay again
- Павлина (10/5): Empfehlenswert. Immer wieder gerne. - Die große Terrasse und das türkische Bad waren super. Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet. Die Bettwäsche und Tücher waren 100 prozentig sauber.
- Ginalda (10/5): Excelente - Atendimento do anfitrião e dos funcionários, excelente localização para visitas aos pontos turísticos… Não gostei da internet
- US (9/5): Overall had good experience! - The best part is it’s location. Most of the tourist attractions are in walking distance and the area felt safe when staying with family and kid.
Hosts are welcoming and helpful. Housekeeping ladies come everyday and are very friendly. Some hiccups but are negligible for few days of stay.
The price seem little higher for the property.
- Xiaoyun (10/5): - Wonderful host and the best location.
- Debra (10/5): Original tiny self contained apartment perfect for a couple - The location in the old city of Sultanahmet was perfect and close enough to walk to the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and Topkaki Palace Nothing!
- Kai (10/5): Excellent - Perfect location to see all the sights. Well equipped, excellent and kind host. Lots of nice touches i.e fresh fruit, baklava & lokum every day. Quiet even though in the centre of the tourist area.
- Valerie (7/5): Great stay great location - The property was in a great location and the Patio was great bed very comfy and communication from the host was very good It was advertised as having a sofa bed when it was just a sofa which was disappointing it should only be advertised as a two person also the bathroom was a bit smelly
- Melissa (8/5): Unbeatable Location In Sultanahmet - Apartment With Terrace - Wonderful location! Walking distance to all the top sites of Sultanahmet. View of the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus from the terrace. Daily cleaning with a delivery of fresh towels, fruit and baklava. Washing machine, dishwasher and fridge in the kitchen were useful. Very helpful owner. This is not a luxury apartment (the entrance and stairway are pleasingly shabby chic), but it has everything you need for a short stay in Istanbul.
- Aditya (8/5): Good stay.. but a bit difficult with a small child - Location near the tourist attractions of old part of Istanbul; great care was taken to replenish water, energy bars, sweets in the apartment daily with a cleaning lady coming The building is old and there is an off smell in the bathroom .. would not recommend staying with a child as the stone pathways are not suited for prams and there is no lift
- Marco (10/5): Excellent stay in Istanbul - Mr. Kubilay, the owner, is very responsive and super attentive. Excellent service. N/A
- Amit (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denys (9/5): Perfect terrace, tiny apartment with low ceiling - Istanbul is a very cool city and it is worth visit 200%
Regarding this apartment.
Location: it is very central and touristic. 5-10 mins to main attractions and T1 tram to other attractions.
Parking: Kubilay reserved parking slot for us for 15 EUR/day. It was located 30 meters from apart.
Apartment: It has a lot of great features:
- it is clean
- water, snacks and fruits are refreshed every day
- every day cleaning like in the hotel
- everything is working in the apartment and working well
- terrace is the most spectacular place in the apartment
- air conditioner helped us a lot this summer
But you should understand several negative things:
- it is not for tall people ! I am 1.88m And it is hard to count how many times my head was suffering =). And the most important ! Sofa in living room is too short !!! It was very uncomfortable because of this
- shower doesn't have any curtain. And when you have shower the whole bath is wet. Very strange
- there is no place for all your staff when you travel with family. Wardrobe has only one shelve and tiny. And that's it. The whole apartment I would describe as tiny, except terrace ! It is perfect =)
Also, apartment on the third floor with very steep stairs. But it was ok for us.
Conclusion
Would I visit Istanbul one more time - rather YES, then NO
Would I stay in Sultanahmet - rather NO, then yes. Sultanahmet is not Istanbul. It is touristic place, with annoying restarunts, sellers and not the greatest service, where everything is very expensive. Better to live near T1 tram
Would I choose this apartment once again - NO because of my height =)
- Däna (10/5): Felt very at home with our own front door - Location - very walkable to lots of main sights. Able to get to sights early with no difficulty.
Very helpful responsive friendly staff. Any issue they jumped on it immediately. Great communication before arrival and arranged taxis for us to and from the airport.
In flat hammam - great to warm up on chilly evenings.
Double view terrace - Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus.
Great that the staff carried my bags up and down the stairs.
Great housekeeping making the bed daily and replenishing tea/coffee etc Outdoor furniture was a bit tired. Bed was quite firm.
- Leidig (10/5): Exceptional - Cosy, comfortable holiday apartment. Loved the terrace with distant view of the Bosporus. Short walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Great attention to detail, everything you may need is provided.
Transfer from and to the airport without any problems. Great host. Nothing
- Andrey (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, cozy apartment, like a separate small house with a wonderful terrace overlooking the sea. A very hospitable meeting, escort and send-off by the Furkan manager, whom you can always rely on.
- Jean-luc (10/5): Furkam is the best - The best part of the property is the fact that it has a Turkish bath. Nothing
- Bogdan (10/5): Excellent experience, great vacation! - Excellent location in the heart of Istanbul European historical area, few minutes away from very important touristic attractions.
The breakfast was very good and the most important thing is the great hospitality of the owner and his employees. Very clean, changing the towels and sheets every day.
Very nice view from breakfast area and, if you are lucky, the pair of very friendly sea-gulls will come to eat from your hand - they are described as the real owners of that area.
A special thanks to Mr. Furkan Çoban who is an excellent host and could give you a lot of tips about the important touristics places, ways to arrive to them and proved also wilingness to support any time in case of any issue. We will definitely book in the same location when we will come again to Istanbul. I am not sure if something bothered me, but even though some little things are not perfect, the hospitality of the team and their support is a great experience regarding the way to treat your guests.
- Vanessa (10/5): Incredible Blue Mosque experience - We loved everything! Furkan went above and beyond helping us to make sure everything was wonderful. I highly recommend staying here and will be sure to come back!
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eniko (9/5): Superb - Location is very close to the point of historical places.
- Tae-jin (3/5): Poor - They were overbooked and moved our room to another hotel without any prior notice.
- Fomba (10/5): Kubilay went out of his way to be welcoming and hospitable.. He kindly organised taxi transfer to and from the airport w - The apartment was splendid, extremely clean, well furnished and we had everything we needed. The location was ideal for exploring all the attractions and amenities. I cannot think of anything we dislike
- Ana (10/5): Excellent and genuine hospitality - We stayed at the Deluxe suite (2 bedrooms) for 3 nights and it was very comfortable. Super clean and nicely decorated, the apartment has everything you need for a short stay. It is very close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Arasta Bazaar and the Basilica Cistern. Topkapi palace is also at walking distance Kubilay provides snacks, nuts, bottles of water and fruits which is a nice touch specially after a long flight and after touring. We booked the airport transfers with Kubilay and there were no issues. The drivers were punctual and polite. Kubilay gave us itinerary suggestions, answered our questions and let us borrow an Istanbul card, which the 3 of us used to take the tram, ferry and funicular. It was very helpful! He is so positive and friendly and he is available whenever you need him, like a guardian angel ! Thank you Kubilay !
- Guliz (10/5): Exceptional -

- Aisa (10/5): Great hospitality - The owner is friendly and amazingly helpful. He is always available and does anything possible to help us. Everything functions good. It’s not a top class 5 star hotel though, good value for money.
- Zubair (9/5): Very close to Blue Mosque and the boarding area for cruises to Bosphorus. - Hospitality of the owner. Master bedroom was not totally dark at night.
- Derek (9/5): Host and premises were excellent. - Spacious and terrific views Stair might be challenging for an older person
- Jeffrey (10/5): Awesome experience! Awesome host!!!!!! - The host was very kind, helpful and generous! He definitely made the visit exceptional. He even came up with a plan for us to see the major attractions within the scope of our few days we had in town.
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, and superbly friendly and helpful host - every need was met and we got great travel advice. Breakfast was plentiful and the room was nice and spacious.
- Sehar (9/5): Excellent stay and hospitality - First of all I would like to thank Mr Kubilay and his family for their warm welcome and excellent hospitality throughout the stay. They very were friendly and helpful. As for the the Hotel, it was very close to main attractions and local transport facilities. 8-10 minutes walk to Blue Mosque, Arasta Bazaar, Tram Station etc.
Many restaurants and cafes are close by. The hotel had very narrow stairs. It's not their fault, it was very clear in the description which was a bit of a problem for my elderly mother. If you're bringing an elderly with you, please be aware of this.
- Rachid (10/5): fantastic - clean place and very friendly staff . location and breakfast
- Joy (10/5): Extraordinary! Great location. Beautiful suite, clean and comfortable with so many thoughtful touches to make it feel re -
- Cristina (10/5): One of the best stays ever, not only in Istanbul - Amazing experience, from the moment we made the booking until the end of our trip.
The owner is the kindest man, he made sure that all our needs were met.
Breakfast on the terrace was delicious. We had snacks , baklava and fruit brought to our room daily.
The hammam in the apartment was just perfect after a day of walking around in rain.
There is a restaurant right next to the building that has delicious food , better than other places we ate in town.
Close to the main attractions but on a quiet street. Cannot wait to come back again.
If you book an upper floor apartment, note that the stairs are quite steep, so not recommended for people with mobility issues.
- Christine (10/5): Excellent location - Excellent accommodation and would highly recommend, value for money . Host was excellent nothing was a problem and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable Nothing
- Anatoliy (10/5): Exceptional -

He helped us with planning on where to visit as well as ensuring that we manage to get our airport shuttle on time. Thank you for an amazing stay Kubilay!
- Kirill (10/5): Very hospitable host and good location - Very hospitable host
- Raza (9/5): Superb -
- Soo (10/5): It’s definitely a place I’ll book if I am coming back again. - It is always the human touch that makes a place memorable. The host does not only check in on us daily during our stay, even after we left, he continues to ensure our safety and provides any assistance as needed. None that comes to my mind.
- Dan. (10/5): Exceptional - Kubilay and Troia (sp?) were fantastic hosts. They arranged airport transportation and took care of small things like mailing postcards. They provided outstanding treats and water each day we were there, as well as room cleaning. Would definitely stay there again.
- Elena (10/5): location superb, very cozy apartment and well equipped, magnificent terrace. Host is super nice, helpful and accommodati - location, terrace, host attitude, service nothing to mention
- Cile (10/5): Relaxing wonderful holiday. - Tuya our hostess was wonderful and very accommodating. The accommodation was very clean and very comfortable bed. Lots of delicious baklava, biscuits, fresh fruit and large bottled water was complimentary. The apartment was very close to all of the attractions. Everything was perfect.
- Jesse (10/5): Excellent find - Very helpful, clean, and lots of nice little touches. A bit loud, but so is all of Istanbul
- Bogdan (10/5): Fantastic apartment, wonderful host, best location in Sultanahmet -
- Pavel (8/5): great service, a lot of nice candy compliments from hotel. tasty breakfast and a good view - polite and care from host was great. he helped with location address, met me, help define fair price for taxi on the departure.
helped to print the boarding pass. my room was in basement, so the window was on a level of shoes of pedestrians.
- Taisiya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deb (8/5): Most enjoyable stay, would highly recommend. - Wonderful apartment, lots of little extras provided, extremely clean, great hosts. Unfortunately not easy to find, there are two locations. Suggest ringing host to confirm location with your driver.
- Giorgio (8/5): Very good -
- Zara (10/5): Perfect duplex apartment with amazing hosts - We were a family of 6 staying in the duplex apartment and it was perfect! The apartment was spacious across 3 floors. The interior was aesthetically pleasing and the apartment was very clean. We especially enjoyed our morning and nights on the balcony. The location was great but it is worth noting that taxi drivers often were confused about the location and we had to direct them (it didn’t take too long to familiarise ourselves with the location and get our bearings). We were provided with complementary snacks everyday and the hosts were available 24/7. I can’t fault our stay. I would definitely stay here again if I were in Istanbul and will definitely be recommending this apartment to family and friends.
- Kirill (10/5): Exceptional -
