I liked the **comfort** of the guesthouse, especially the ** comfortable bed**, **working AC**, and **noise-blocking windows** for a peaceful stay. The **prime location** in Cihangir, close to Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, and convenient for reaching Sultan Ahmet, also stood out. Plus, Emir's **warm welcome** added a personal touch to the experience.

while the neighborhood of Cihangir is charming, it has many stairs and hills, which might make walking a bit difficult for older individuals or those with disabilities. This isn’t a drawback of the apartment itself, but more about the hilly nature of the location.

- Great location in Cihangir. - Very clean and modern apartments. It basically looks like on the pictures. - Very friendly staff, especially Erdogan! You can always contact them on Whatsapp, even before your arrival. - There is someone at the reception desk 24/7.

- Wifi works well but using it could be smoother: By default the login you get works only on one device at a time. Using it on multiple devices requires an extra setup or you have to log-off on other devices. - Friends/visitors are not allowed in the apartments. A friend came by to pick me up and wanted to wait in the apartment for a few minutes while I get ready to leave. In the end he was allowed in but we first had to explain the situation. On the one hand it can be annoying, on the other hand you don't need to worry about your neighbors inviting huge groups of people over.

It is an amazing apartment, cosy and comfortable, very well located, very well equipped - we travel a lot but I never seen such a well equipped kitchen - everything is brand new! And such a light bathroom with a washing machine - we loved it! The flat was all clean! The bed was very comfortable. The aircon worked perfectly. The Tram 1 is about 9 min walk, which provide a direct link to the main attractions within 10 min., like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern. The apartment is located in the heart of Cihangir. The Istanbul Guesthouse building is all new - just as the apartments. The streets are cleaned, have a good mood. Supermarket Migros is 30 m away, you can find everything here for a good price. Carrefour is 200 m away. There are cafés, restaurants all around. The last day we could keep our bags there until we went to the airport. That's a really nice gesture! You can reach Galataport - the seashore - within a 12-15 min walk. I highly recommend this apartment, I can't wait to come back again! Special thanks to Erdogan and to all his staff - they are All so helpful, kind, mindful. We THANK YOU very much!

A great and supper clean appartment. Almost perfect, everything in the appartment is almost new!, Beds are comfy, you have two airconditions which both work very fine. Location is great, 10 minutes walk to Taksim square 40 meters from a small supper market. 100 meters from a place that you can have a supper Turkish breakfast. One of the good things about this appartment is also that they really do have a 24 hours reception, there is always someone to help you in the reception. Special thanks to Yasin and Emir (I hope I am spelling their name correctly) they are very helpfull and friendly. Once you see the appartments, you would wish you had booked more nights. I really think we will book again.

I highly recommend İstanbul Guesthouse. The guesthouse is located in a convenient area of Cihangir, with several restaurants and a grocery store a short walk away. My unit was clean and organized upon arrival, it had a good layout with many windows for lots of natural light, and the building itself was quiet and felt secure. The inside of the unit had an overall feeling of coziness and cheerfulness. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils, and the appliances worked well and appeared to be newer. The A/C unit in the bedroom was a great relief from the Istanbul heat. The host, Erdogan, was very accommodating, hospitable, and friendly.

One suggestion I have for the guesthouse would be to provide clothes hangers in the closets.

Istanbul Guesthouse is a perfect place if you want to discover this vibrant city in a central "bubble of peace", located relatively close to many of the main monuments like the Galata tower or the Pera quarter, but in a quiet, trendy and village-like neighborhood (Cihangir). The place is easy to reach by both taxi and public transport and surrounded by nice shops, cafés and restaurants. Staff were very kind and helpful, especially Erdogan, who provided good tips and recommendations.

It is true that the place has a strict external visitors' policy but they communiate clearly and directly about it from the very beginning. I personally do not think there is anything wrong with it. However, if you expect visitors, this is probably not the best location as they are not really a hotel (just a small apartments complex), and they do not have a lobby where external persons can wait.

-Location: streets around this place are nice and safe, lots of cafes and some bars to go to without having to cross many hills, you will understand the importance of this when you are in Istanbul. Also, many vegan restaurants close by in case you are interested, do yourself a favor and visit Vegan Dükkan and order the manti. The apt was flawlessly clean and very well decorated.

The only thing I would add is a chair and a tiny tea table on the balcony to take advantage of the space in the morning.

The property is really brand new from the furniture to the building itself. Everything within was very comfortable. We arrived really early and we were able to leave the bags at the luggage room and get a quick breakfast at at one of the many cafes around. Next morning we tried Susam which was our favourite. The staff was equally amazing and helped us with getting around. It has the perfect location for socialising, dining and just wandering around Istanbul.

The Guesthouse is very modern and well-equipped. The location is excellent, because the Guesthouse is very central in Istanbul and you can reach the public transport easily, but it's still very quiet in this area. There is a 24/7 reception and the staff is always there to help. I would definitely recommend this place and chose it again for our next stay.

Everything was wonderful! The location is well connected and the surrounding area is full of life, cafes and obviously cats! The apartment is brand new and full of everything you may need in a house. Staff was friendly and helpful the whole time. Definitely recommended!
