Guest Reviews
- Master (10/5): Очень понравилось - Атмосферное место, отличный по турецким меркам ремонт, классный вид с балкона на море
Есть стиральная машина
очень хороший отзывчивый хозяин- помог затащить тяжелый чемодан на 3 этаж, по нашей просьбе сделал 2 ключ на следующий день, а также угостил нас булочкой, спасибо)
Недалеко до Софии и Базара. Рядом вкусное кафе в 2 минутах Самое неприятное- это сигаретный дым. Этажом ниже( номер был на 3 этаже, снизу есть еще номер) кто-то курил и дым стоял в спальне так, словно ты сам только что там покурил. Я связался с хозяином, он побеседовал с кем-то и это прекратилось.
Также нужно понимать, что район холмистый, дом стоит на горке с большим уклоном и этом может не подойти некоторым людям, также как и лестница внутри дома
- Natalia (7/5): -
- Georg (10/5): -
- philippe grigy (9/5): A recommander - Appartement bien équipé. Situation proche des principales attractions. Contact facile avec le propriétaire.
- Jennelle (10/5): Great location friendly service always helpful - Everything was great
- მონიკა (6/5): - Good location. Walking distance from historic part of the city. Day we arrived it was impossible to contact anyone for two hours to let us inside because it does not have reception. Number we had was unreachable.
After finding another number to contact nobody was speaking the single word of English which is common in Turkey but if you rent an apartment should take care of it I think.
We were allocated in the wrong apartment and were able to switch after owner answered on our calls. We got apologies and he sent the guy who took us to the correct one the night of first day of our stay.
We paid double price for the apartment with two balconies which is for me pretty much the same one on the ground floor so would not recommend to pay double for it.
The plates and mugs had a stains and had to clean them properly before using.
Noise is coming from everywhere even though nobody was staying in the house other than us. AC needs a maintenance making a weird noice while night. Thank god I had earplugs with me.
- Anaioliy (9/5): Апплртаменты хорошие. - Местоположение. Переулок не очень удобен.
- Maria (10/5): Если поедем в Стамбул — остановимся здесь снова - Просторная квартира с боковым видом на море с балкончика. На кухне есть холодильник, стиральная машина и порошок, капельная кофеварка с фильтрами и кофе в баночке, столовые приборы и посуда.
Большая кровать с хорошим матрасом.
Красивый интерьер: деревянный пол и потолок, кирпичная стена, турецкие лампочки 😻 Минусов не заметили, для нас идеально;
Кому-то может быть сложен крутой подъём в горку, но в этом районе везде так. Для нас — не проблема; наоборот, хорошая тренировочка)
- Falletta (10/5): -
- Eduard (5/5): Dezolant - Linistea
Patul mare si relaxant Nu arata nicidecum ca in poze, fatada imobilului e degradata
Locatie intr-o zona plina de fabricute de incaltaminte pe o strada abrupta pietonala
Curatenia lasa de dorit, prosoape si lenjerie patate de rugina
Usa de la dus si cea de la fata frigiderului de la bufet rupte
Plafonul din lemn nu sigileaza complet peretele si ne-am trezit cu mici particule care cad dintre tavan si perete in mijlocul noptii, ne-au si trezit auzind miscari
Am simtit de multe ori in dormitor fumul de tigara venind de la vecin prin perete??!! Ciudat!
- Tatiana (9/5): В целом все было хорошо, так как мы приходили только спать, но апартаменты нуждаются в тщательной уборке и реновации - Удобное месторасположение, удобная кровать, всегда была горячая вода , есть достаточно кухонных принадлежностей,рядом много кафе и магазинов, легко добраться до всех достопримечательностей , в том числе пешком.Персонал очень дружелюбный и отзывчивый В комнате на первом этаже было не совсем чисто , кондиционер в спальне был грязный и очень шумел , есть запах канализации в ванной , очень тусклый свет, плохая шумоизоляция
- MGAV (10/5): Nice old town apartment - Spacious! All included! Perfect staff! Stairs
- HERMAN (10/5): An amazing accommodation! - An amazing flat, everything as described and in fact beyond our expectations. Fantastic position, too. Nothing
- Barbara (8/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft in praktischer Lage. - Die Unterkunft hat eine sehr gute Lage in der Altstadt von Istanbul. Es ist sehr ruhig die Wohnung ist sehr praktisch und nett eingerichtet. Vom Balkon aus hat man einen schönen Blick. Es gibt keinen Backofen. Die Küchenutensilien sind nicht übermäßig gut ausgestattet um zu kochen.
- Slava (10/5): -
- Natalya (10/5): Exceptional - It's a great apartment, I really liked it.
— The apartment is beautiful, clean and large
— The owner allowed us to come in a few hours earlier
— The employee who helped with the check-in was very friendly and pleasant
– Close to historical attractions It was scary to book an apartment with a score of only 8.1, but it turned out that the apartment was great. Many people wrote that the neighbors could be heard loudly, but I wouldn't say that. Also, many people wrote that the area is dirty, and it really is. But there are local shoe manufacturers in the area, which makes the area look very colorful and interesting, and I personally wasn't upset by the dirt.
Cons:
– The floors creak
- Neil (8/5): Local living close to the action - This apartment is right on the edge of the Sultanahmet district surrounded by a local precinct of its own. There are many restaurants and a couple of supermarkets at the end of the street but it is very quiet. It is a real traders district. The apartment has basic cooking facilities, is quite roomy and has a very comfortable large bed. It was quite clean but the shower needed a good scrub. It is a fifteen minute steep walk to Hagia Sophia and a ten minute very steep walk to the Grand Bazaar. The street outside is quite steep and needs reasonable fitness and good mobility to access the apartment.
- Andrej (9/5): Superb -
- Vernon (5/5): Passable - The exterior of the building didn't match the pictures on booking.com.
The interior wooden floors were a major concern as it caused loud noises when walking. This was a problem when sleeping or just when you were in the apartment.
- Michele (10/5): Beautiful apartment in the heart of the city - Beautiful aisément in the heart of Old Town Absolutely perfect!
- Domenico (5/5): Not as expected - Very clean and spacious.
The shower was really nice. We booked the ground floor, but this is actually the basement of the building.
The apartment was very dark with very limited natural light, and the light of the lamps was also limited.
The building is made from wood so there are lots of noises when there is movement in the house. The guests on the floor above were constantly walking and moving furnitures at any time of the night ( from 2 am to 6 am), and we had a decent sleep only one night out of six. We woke up so many times during the night because of the noises and we were not able to rest over our staying.
The outside area is not inviting as in the pictured, as it is surrounded by buildings, and again very dark, and not well maintained.
The location of the apartment is a walking distant from many landmarks, but the area itself is really poor.
- Greta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sergei (6/5): Pleasant - On the positive side, the location is just perfect, absolutely fantastic. There are two very affordable restaurants with good food just down the street, while most restaurants in the area are quite expensive. Also, there are plenty of good small, cheap restaurants up the hill. Additionally, there is a nearby park with a fountain and a children playground. This is probably one of the best areas in Istanbul. Most major attractions are within walking distance. Just a 200-meter walk uphill, and you can catch trams and get to any part of the city easily. There is also a pharmacy nearby in case of health issues. The bed was soft and comfortable. I also appreciated the availability of appliances like a hairdryer, iron, ironing board, drying racks, and a washing machine. There were plenty of towels, a full set of bed linens, and all the necessary dishes. This was a big plus. There were some downsides. The renovation looked a bit worn out, and the floor was creaky. This could be a problem if you have small children because it is noisy. The bathroom was not clean, especially the tiles in the shower. Additionally, the balcony had not been cleaned in a long time, with a big pile of bird droppings just under the door left unaddressed. Another downside for some people might be the dim lighting. A thorough cleaning of the room would be very beneficial.
- Ella (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (10/5): A home from home in Istanbul - The apartment is so nice - spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated, and equipped with everything we could want for a 5 day stay. Hot water and a great shower. AC throughout. It has a little outside area. It was very fairly priced. Mrs Gul who let us in was lovely and the owner responded to queries promptly. The area is really interesting and it's close to the Bue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc. A great stay! The building is on a steep hill, which mightn't suit people with mobility issues.
- Peter (9/5): Newton reaction - Great part of town. Fantastic space in apartment. Good bed. Needed a bit more night light for reading and a few more bits and pieces in the kitchen including tea towels.
- illona (10/5): - Amazing . I recommand it
- Tamas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 친구집에 놀러 온듯한 편안한 집이에요. 모든게 갖추어져 있고 침대도 매우 편안합니다. 온수도 잘 나오고 수압과 배수도 너무 잘 되요. 호스트는 매우 친절하며 답장도 빠릅니다. 와이파이도 빨라요. 관광지 역시 도보로 걸어 다닐 수 있어요. 발코니에서 아침을 맞이하는 기쁨을 가져보세요. 동내 사람들과 인사도 나누고 이웃 동내 같은 편안함을 느낄 수 있어요. 체크아웃도 매우 심플합니다. 적극 추천 합니다. 이스탄불에서 가장 행복감을 주는 장소에요.
- Miriam (10/5): - Catirga Konak Apartments is a very beautiful renovated and well maintained property. It is modern but with beautiful traditional Turkish charm. The property is also very clean. It's perfectly located in a busy and vibrant area that is just a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist sites on the European side (Grand Bazaar/Hagia Sofia/Blue Mosque).
- Lesley (8/5): Very good -
- Fekete (8/5): Very good - Unfortunately we got the apartment which is on the -1 of the building, and the light conditions were not the best. Also there was a unpleasant smell in the apartment...
- Negin (3/5): I was very unsatisfied that I had to check out early. I will NEVER go back again. - The only nice things about the apartment was the service, the owner truly helped us as much as he could. The apartment is close to cite seeing. However, the first thing that you notice is that the street of the apartment is SUPER catchy, and you need to be concern for your safety. Also, it is FULL of homeless and high people and it is very dirty and trash everywhere.
The kitchen has the most simple and basic appliances with some tiny scratched pots.
The shower ceiling is moldy and there is even dark black dots on it. In addition the towels does not smell like they have been washed.
The sofa bed is very old and dirty and there was even toothpick and some trash under it. The sofa bed was broken and it was not convenient to sleep on it.
I booked two apartments in the building and one was the ground floor. This ground floor apartment was basically the basement of the building, dark, spiders in all the windows, and hooks hanging from the ceiling.
The building is a traditional wooden Turkish house, which is a very bad thing, as soon as someone walks on the upstairs floor or takes the stair you’ll hear them. I personally had no peaceful sleep in any of the times.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martha (8/5): Very good -
- Amy (9/5): Superb -
- Mohamad (2/5): We werent lucky choosing this apartment i dont recommend it. - In my opinion i didnt like anything but he answers very quickly when you contact him via whatsapp I booked this apartment for two weeks but i couldnt handle staying more than one week. The appartment that i chose was like a basement that is dark and doesnt see the sun light, with humidity and no oxygen
After reading all the feedbacks and seeing the pictures that actually can fool you . The location is hard with alot of ups and downs which made us really tierd, it is located in the middle of some shoes bazar. I contact him via whatsapp i never saw him by person and when i said that am not comfortable he said we can take another apartment but all ofthem where wood and you can hear other people in other apartment. I paid in advance and when i said i want to leave he didnt give me any of my money back. I stayed for 5 days until i found another apartment and moved.
- Mary-ann (8/5): Very good -
- Almira (6/5): The host is nice and attentive, the location does not match the price proposition. - The house is renovated and is very nice and spacious inside. The street where the house is located is not clean and does not feel safe at night.
- Igor (10/5): I will return, but no matter what and not even in my dreams with taxi, provided by Booking co. - Apartman, location. street cleanlines
- Swapan (5/5): Passable - staff There are a lot of stairs to climb so if you have heavy luggage you will feel helpless
- Hiroko (10/5): - The apartments themselves are beautifully converted, and very well-situated between Sultanahmet and the Bazaar district. Everything was very comfortable, and both the owner and Mrs Gul (who looks after things on the ground) extremely helpful. The kitchen is pretty basic, but sufficient to cooking simple meals (and there are some nice places to eat locally). We had a wonderful stay, and are already planning a return visit...
- Sergei (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (9/5): A spacious well equipped apartment in a very convenient but quiet location. - This was a self-catering apartment. The kitchen was nicely equipped and there was a dining table for four. The bed was very comfy and it was nice to have the courtyard to sit in. We were in easy walking distance to the main tourist attractions- Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, and enjoyed the food in the eateries on the corner to our street. Yet the location was still quiet at night. A brighter light in the bathroom would have been nice but not a big deal
- Karen (7/5): Good -
- Sander (10/5): wonderful apartment on walking distance from all the important places. - Wonderful apartment on walking distance from all the must see places in Istanbul. the apartment is very clean and mrs Gul even hand is the keys at 5 in the morning. the communication is very good and we definitely will come back. thank you for the nice stay!
- Robert (4/5): overpriced stay for a property in a run down location. however inside the room things were okay even though the bathroom - the owner is accommodating your needs quite quickly. the property is over priced for the location and the pictures of the balcony and common are are misleading as the balcony overlooks the bad neighborhood and the fully run down building. there is no way one would want to want to use the balcony area.
also the bathroom was soooo smelly. it reeked if sewage the whole time. that smell was unbearable for me
- Desmond (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elize (9/5): Superb -
- Khaled (5/5): overall is fair. the location is bad - size and cleanliness location is inconvenient
- Roman (10/5): Все чудесно!Спасибо! - Все очень понравилось,в квартире много места,отдыхали с двумя детьми. Жили на 2 этаже. Балкона нет,но чудесное окно в прекрасным видом на истинный Стамбул,погрузились полностью в ежедневную жизнь людей,живущих там. Все чисто. Чай,кофе. Готовили завтрак сами. Все удобно. Розетки есть,полотенца чистые,всего хватало. Очень хорошая большая кровать 2м на 2 м. Абсолютная тишина по вечерам и ночам. Высыпались!Очень рекомендую эти Апартаменты. Это дом с 3 апартаментами. Есть этаж на земле,2(где жили мы) и 3 этаж с балконом. После бронирования со мной по Вотсап связался хозяин Елхан и я выяснила,на каком этаже будем жить.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved the wood panelling and the general decor. The old building was full of character and at the same time well-tended and modernised. The only minor quibble that I have is that the kitchen could have a few more items: enough plates and glasses and cutlery for four people, and especially a clean dishtowel and dishrag.
Altogether, though, a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it highly! Thank you!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing experience to stay here - Centrally located. Walked to most of the historical destinations (Sultahahmet Cami, basilica cistern, Ayasofia, and even grand bazaar). A very new apartment, great size, well furnished and comfortable. Wooden floor and ceiling makes an excellent atmosphere. Ottoman style divan was cozy to drink tea and watch the street. Highly recommended for an authentic experience in the heart of the city!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The apartment is absolutely the same as it is on the pictures. IIhan was a very helpful host and ready to recommend all the best places in the city. Location is perfect - 10 minute walk to Sultanahmet and all the major points of interest. We loved observing the dynamic life here. We are planning to come back next year, so it will definitely be IIhan’s place again for our next stay. Thank you IIhan! It was a wonderful vacation.
- Maurizio (10/5): - Ilhan did a perfect renovation on his building. Everything is as advertised, there is everything you could need for cooking, washing dishes and clothes, etc. The location itself is a bit off the beaten path, yet perfect for walking to major tourist sites. Ilhan is a great communicator and very helpful. Mrs Gul who let us in does not speak much English but is very helpful and lovely. Would definitely book again on another trip to Istanbul.
- Matt (10/5): - We had a great time, the place is lovely, clean and central. The bed was very comfortable and bedroom was very silent. The bathroom is spacious and there is everything you need in the kitchen such as refrigerator, dishwasher …..etc
The area is central, the street that the building is located has few stairs and no cars are allowed during day time.
I would recommend transportation offered by the owner for the arrival which made our life lot easier.
- Bernard (8/5): Appartement bien - Quartier à éviter - - L'appartement est bien mais l'accès à la batisse ne se fait qu'à pieds par une rue en escaliers, ce qui n'est pas très pratique avec les bagages. La rue est relativement sale.
