  Good value

  24 Aug 2023

  We stayed there as a couple with 4 children. The area is very busy and things are really cheap and people are very friendly. It’s easy access to the Metro in Beyazit, however it’s a 10 mins walk uphill to get to the tram station. Not a problem as such as you will soon find Istanbul is all up and down! but with the hot season, something to think about. There are many taxis that can take you up if you choose not to walk. Everywhere around this apartment is very cheap. There are many shops that are open until late, it was very convenient with the kids and safe area to walk to and from the apartment. Everything is 10 times cheaper than the area of Sultan Ahmet. In terms of the apartment itself, you get what you pay for. The apartment is very safe and they have a staff at the reception 24hrs. The apartment has air conditioning which is a massive plus if you’re staying in August because it’s boiling outside. Although this was in one room. It takes a bit of time to cool down the 2 bedrooms. The furniture is quite dated but the beds were comfy and we slept well. the kitchen facilities are not that great/ accessible for use. The missus was a little apprehensive to touch anything as the stovetop was open and didn’t seem safe. She was insistent there was a strong smell of gas. The bathroom could do with updating as there was mould on the ceiling which left a bad stuffy smell daily. To be fair, when the ladies got in to clean for us, it was manageable but again not the best. As I said you get what you pay for, and as we were on a budget and just needed a place to sleep at night, we managed with it. If you are out all day and only come home for a short and sleep, it’s great. On that note, the staff and owner are lovely and receptive. We thank them for our stay. Don’t hesitate to stay there, the owner just need to spend a bit to upgrade the furnitures and sort out the moulds in the bathroom ceiling. A bit of effort of putting a clean kettle goes a long way. The mini fridge in the room is a massive plus as we could buy our own groceries everyday and snacks and kept replenishing our fridge. Thank you again we spent an amazing time in this area and we felt very safe with children in this apartment . THANK YOU 😊

  DO NOT STAY

  10 Oct 2019

  We booked 2 x 2 bedroom apartments, which were confirmed by them 2 days before we traveled. When we turned up at 10.15pm we were told they didn’t have 2 apartments that night. They showed us 1 with 5 beds in. Nothing like the pictures on the web site. Mould on bathroom ceiling, which looked like it would come down at any point. Broken bed as per picture. The room looked nothing like on the web site. We were so disappointed we went out to find a hotel and refused to stay. If you think of booking I would advise against it, but if you like to live in a slum maybe you will like it. AVOID

  AVOID

  10 Oct 2019

  Mould everywhere, exposed electrics (including bathroom), broken bed, manager tried to squeeze 5 adults into one apartment (despite booking two). The apartment was a health hazard and no alternative accommodation available. We ended up having to leave and find some where else.
