This apartment was just perfect for my 2-week stay in Istanbul—walking distance orca quick tram ride to most of the sites, tons of restaurants and shops. The owner was very responsive and even had his brother come over to help me with my heavy suitcase—it’s a 5th floor walk-up. The terrace was perfect for lazy mornings and quiet evenings at home. It’s a quirky old place, but had all the modern conveniences.

Comfortable and convenient
My solo 3 week stay in Istanbul was enhanced by Isik’s apartment, where I always felt comfortable and safe.
Isik is a wonderful host; friendly, caring and polite, who always replied to questions promptly and clearly, both before my arrival and during my stay.
The apartment is furnished as the photos show, and has everything necessary for the preparation of simple meals. The balcony made a lovely place to eat, particularly at sunset.
Ideally located on a quiet street on the doorstep of Taksim Square, the apartment offers easy access to both bus and tram routes (as well as many dining options). Many other areas like Kabatas, Karakoy and Cihangir are easily walkable.

Lovely stay in Taksim
We loved the locaion of this property. Lots of great food nearby and the patio was our favourite. Great stay! Host was easy to contact and clear with instructions. There is no elevator, for those who may have mobility issues, so it will involve you walking up a few flights of stairs, but this was no issue for us. I recommend this place if youre looking for a jump off point to explore Istanbul :)

A Memorable Stay with an Exceptional Host
My stay at Isic's property in Istanbul was truly exceptional. From the start, Isic's hospitality and warmth made me feel right at home. The property was immaculately clean and even better than the pictures. It provided everything we needed for a comfortable week-long stay. Surprisingly, despite its central location, the apartment was peaceful due to excellent isolation. I highly recommend Isic's property and look forward to returning on my next visit to Istanbul. Thank you, Isic, for a memorable experience.

Lovely flat near Taksim Square
This is an excellent little flat if you want to explore Istanbul. A five minute walk from Taksim square, where you can catch the tram down to see all the sites. Isik is a gracious and generous host. You can’t go wrong with this gem!

Great Spot in a Great Location.
Very clean apartment. Easy walk to mass transit hubs and several great places to eat. The apartment is just the right size for a couple or a single traveler. The outside veranda is great for enjoying the evenings.

Isik was a great host, who always responded very fast. He made sure we had a perfect stay in Istanbul.
The apartment looks exactly like it does in the pictures and everything you could possibly need is provided. It is very conveniently located, within walking distance from Taksim and other places of interest.
I would definitely stay at Isik’s place again and I can highly recommend it!

Très moyen
Bien que la communication avec le propriétaire ait été facile, cela n’a pas suffit à régler des problèmes vraiment ennuyeux : pas d’eau chaude pendant deux jours, nous avons dû prendre un hôtel, pas de chauffage, et une wifi capricieuse qui ne permettait ni de travailler sur l’ordinateur, ni de regarder un film. Malgré la bonne volonté du propriétaire, ces problèmes n’ont pas pu être réglés, et il a refusé de nous rembourser une partie de l’hébergement. Un geste de sa part aurait été le bienvenu .

Istanbul- der Hammer
Die Wohnung ist in der Nähe vom Taksimplatz
supergelegen.Die Dachterasse ist super- man blickt über die Stadt und zur Moschee- man kann super in die Stimmung der Stadt eintauchen, allerdings sollten die Möbel mit denen auf der Abbildung übereinstimmen.
Der Vermieter ist total nett und hilfsbereit und die Gallone mit Wasser ist echter Service
Die Küche braucht eine kleine Inventur, um Enttäuschungen zu vermeiden .
Alles in allem hatten wir einen tollen Aufenthalt

séjour magnifique
endroit central très bien situé, silencieux
l'appartement est spacieux, bien équipé, la terrasse permet de prendre ses repas à l'extérieur. il faut rappeler que l'appartement se trouve au dernier étage et que l'accès n'est pas très facile. Les marches de l'escalier sont très hautes
