I had a really warm and confident welcome by the reception staff, and I was able to check in a few hours before the usual check in time. After a complimentary Turkish tea, I was taken to my apartment where I was encouraged to check the cleanliness of the place ... It was spotless! By the way, the offer of free tea in their Cafe Berry for a few hours each afternoon was a nice touch and I popped in a few times on my way in / out. The apartment's fridge was stocked with complimentary water, coffee sachets and cakes; and the bathroom had large bottles of shampoo / soap [ environmentally conscious ], although I couldnt tell which was which as there were no markings on the bottles ! I asked for some more kitchen equipment to compliment what was already there, and within just a few minutes, a lady appeared with everything I requested, and more. Whilst the central heating didnt pump out much heat, the air con unit made up for this; I was always warm. Finally, as this was a first for me in Turkey, its worth mentioing that each of the apartments had its own door security alarm which was set / unset using a fob on the key ring. Finally, Istanbul is a city which runs 24/7, and nowhere will you really escape street noise. Here was no exception. If you are a light sleeper, like me, take some ear plugs !

The WIFI was sluggish and sporadic at best, and was completely offline for 6 hours one evening. There did appear to be conflicts with the routers in the apartment block and I would frequently lose connection during audio / video calls. I fed this back seperately to the team for further investigation so shouldn't continue to be a concern. This may be personal, but it must be noted that the streetlight directly outside the window did illuminate the bedroom a great deal at night .. [ See my pic taken at 4;30am ]. So, like I said, if you are a light sleeper, take an eye mask to match your ear plugs !

I've been here three times already, in three different rooms. All rooms are clean and pleasant. All rooms correspond to the photo. Administration is responsive as always. The staff speaks Russian, English and Turkish and it helps a lot in communication. I also discovered that they have their own cafe with delicious breakfasts and lunches. I will definitely come back here again.

This place is exactly the same as in the photos. It's clean, light and comfortable. The environment is modest, but there is everything you need for an independent and budget travel - WiFi, air conditioning, stove and refrigerator. The bed linen is clean, there is no mold in the bathroom, there are no insects (this is a common problem in Istanbul). This is the second time I've stayed here and will continue if the price doesn't change. Nice and helpful staff, thank you for your work!

The stay was pretty comfortable and the apartment met my expectations. + Very helpful and polite personnel. The guy speaks English, answers fast and reception is available 24/7 + Reasonable price for a stay + Matches the photos and I personally love the style + Clear and helpful instructions on how to reach the place + Good wi-fi + The grocery shop is nearby

Those notes are not related to the apartment itself but to the surroundings which couldn't be fixed but should be taken in mind. - It is still a bit noisy during the night in spite the apartment itself is not near clubs or a highway. I guess it happened because there are other places for rent situated around. - The street is going uphill, so depending on your movement direction it could be hard to drag your luggage. - There is no elevator in the house and the staircase is narrow, so again, the big luggage could be a problem.

Original booking was for small room, but it was dark and on first floor across main door. And you can hear everybody going in or out. So I have upgraded my room to deluxe, its with colored glass balcony room no 7. Room 7 on fourth fkoor, has plenty light, hight ceiling. So it was nice place to stay. Reception was responsive and helpfull. Asked for regular chair to work on my laptop.

Stair are narrow, need to consider it.

I was in flat 8 at Simitci no 9 for 4 nights. No problems, except fridge didn't work and bathroom seemed to flood a bit. Parking advertised as free was on the street near their office (a short walk away - as was their cafe for breakfast ) but if you want to park privately there's a few options quite close , around 150try per day. Short walk to pubs, restaurants, bus stops and maybe 20 mins to Taskim square for metro, etc. Staff at office helpful and friendly. Communication all good. I'd be happy to go again !

Fridge didn't work !

The location at few steps from Taksim square. Surprised but it's cleanliness. The availability and the kindness of the staff.

Very clean and well kept. The area is good an accessible with lots of shops and restaurants. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

Super clean

Maybe size is small but according to it’s price is perfect

Stuff was great and very helpfull. Location is conviniently near main tourist street and Metro station. Room was very clean. I highly recomend.
