Not meeting our expectations
While the property benefits from an excellent location and beautiful views, unfortunately, the level of cleanliness fell far below our expectations. Upon arrival, we removed our shoes at the door as we were traveling with young children and preferred to keep the apartment shoe-free. However, the floors were noticeably dirty — they had clearly not been mopped or even swept, with visible debris throughout. Additionally, the bed linens appeared unwashed, with visible stains and an unpleasant odor. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and in this case, it was severely lacking.

Great view, amazing apartment
This is the third time we have stayed in this apartment - it is one of our favourites in the world. We love the main room and the view over the Bosporus, but every room is big, clean, bright and nice. The hosts are spectacular - our flight was badly delayed, and they were happy to check us in at an unreasonable hour, even on a Sunday night. We look forward to renting again next year already.

Lovely place
We stayed in this place with kids, It is a lovely place, clean, and fully equipped with a tea & coffee maker and a washer/dryer. The location is just perfect, amazing view overlooking Dolmabahçe Palace and the Bosphorus. Easy access to public transport. Would definitely save this vrbo for our next visit to Istanbul

Magical istanbul
We loved our time in this beautiful, ancient city. And our experience was enhanced by this lovely property. Walking distance to the ferry terminal, the tram line and Galata made this charming aparythe ideal location for our visit. Emir was wonderful to work with and the property manager, Tuna was amazing. She made restaurant recommendations, coordinated airport transportation and was available by WhatsApp if we had any questions. The apartment is a clean, sun filled space with views of the Bosphorous. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. Well appointed kitchen, washing machine for a quick mid adventure freshen up of clothing, internet and the view!!! We hope to come back and will absolutely stay here again.

Convenient location, great views
Building is short walk to T1 tram that goes through the old city and F1 funicular that goes up to Taksim square.
The unit is exactly as described with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. The mosque across the street sings calls to prayer to give a great feeling of place. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and dishes but only coffee, tea and oil for meal preparation. We did not cook. Street traffic is heavy and constant but the excellent windows lower the sound immensely. The garden is not very maintained but we never had time to consider relaxing there.
In the neighborhood are only a few restaurants within immediate walking distance. Markets nearby supply the basics including fresh fruit.
All in all a great, reasonably quiet space for our one week stay.

Enjoyed stay with one exception
I would give the property 5 stars. But i am giving it only 4 stars, because of unsatisfactory Internet connection. The Interned usually worked for a few minutes and then the service dropped out and was unavailable for hours.

Best VRBO ever!
We've stayed in about 30 different VRBOs over the years, in multiple cities, and this was the nicest. The view from almost every room is better than any hotel in Istanbul, and you have to see it to believe it. It looks good in the pictures, but even nicer in person. The layout and furnishing and kitchen/bathrooms are all clean, modern, and attractive. Rooms were all warm enough in winter, which is lovely.
The location is excellent: close to the tram, the funicular up the hill to Taksim, and many shops for food and wine. Good coffee nearby at Just Coffee and Michelin ranked Topaz is up the hill and 5 minutes walk.
The only thing that might dissuade some is that it is on the fourth floor, and no elevator. Not a big deal in my view: you will do far more climbing up and down the steep streets!
The hosts were lovely: both Tuna and her husband were welcoming, communicative and responsive. Nothing to do with the apartment, but at one point the water service was interrupted, and they responded right away and kept us informed of what the city was up to.
If available, we'd never stay in anywhere else in Istanbul again! Although good for a family, it was also perfect for a couple and very romantic.

PERFECT location and the View!!
We stayed 10 days over Christmas holidays and we found the apartment and the location very good. You’re right at the end/start of the tram line to take you into the old city. You will definitely get your steps in when visiting Istanbul. We were able to cook and do some laundry but let’s face it, why cook when you can eat so we’ll for so little money? The apartment was very clean, the beds are definitely more firm than we are used to, but everything worked well. Lots of storage etc. When we did have an issue with the bathroom/hot water, Tuna was there with a solution immediately. We would recommend this property to anyone ( as long as you don’t mind stairs as it’s on the fourth floor)!!
