Wow!
Wow! was the first thought when entering the apartment. We found the special amenities to be very stylish and suitable for our place to stay Istanbul. We immediately felt at home and comfortable. You can walk from the apartment many restaurants, shopping, attractions. It is very centrally located. We enjoyed it very much in Istanbul and the beautiful apartment even a little more....

This apartment is worth every dollar paid for our stay.
Julia’s place is in a very convenient location, just meters from the Galata Tower. Check in was hassle free and they provide not just the support but also all the details. This apartment is worth every dollar paid for our stay.

We loved the rooftop with a beautiful sea view
Julia was an exceptional host—friendly, welcoming, and helpful. She greeted us warmly and made us feel at ease from the start. The house exceeded expectations. It was spotless, especially the bathroom, which is a top priority for me. As three women traveling, we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The interior was cozy and well-designed. Though the house is on the second floor with no elevator, bringing up our luggage was no problem. We loved the rooftop bench with a beautiful sea view on the left—perfect for enjoying wine and the scenery. The kitchen was fully equipped, and Julia was always responsive and went above and beyond to assist us. I highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again!

Ganz tolle, sehr schöne und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung.
Ganz tolle, sehr schöne und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung. Sehr geräumig, mit 2 Schlafzimmern, Küche, Wohnzimmer, großem Vorraum, ideal für 4 Personen! Super Betten, alles sehr sauber. Absolutes Asset ist die Dachterrasse, von der man großartige Aussicht auf die Stadt hat. Vor allem am Abend atemberaubend. Sehr zentral gelegen, gleich um die Ecke vom Galataturm, aber trotzdem relativ ruhig. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern verlief perfekt, es gab schon im Vorfeld sehr viel Informationen. Das Einchecken war total problemlos. In Summe eine absolute Empfehlung!!

A lovely apartment in a very central yet quiet location
A lovely apartment in a very central yet quiet location and that with a proactive, thoughtful host: this is an apartment that I can easily recommend. It was my first time in Istanbul and thought it was a great base to view the city. The host was proactive with helping with the transfer from the airport and and had good recommendations for things we could check out nearby. Highly recommended!

Julia and Tarkin were the perfect hosts
I must say that Julia and Tarkin were the perfect hosts. They responded quickly to every enquiry and provided multiple options for us to consider. Their apartment was perfect and felt homely to us. We will be recommending this place to family and friends and hope to go back again soon. Thank you again to our lovely hosts. Serif.
Fabulous apartment with welcoming hosts Julia and Tarkan . Thank you both for your excellent recommendations for restaurants which we greatly enjoyed checking out and the thoughtful inclusion of a travel card. Can’t recommend this apartment highly enough.

It is a really good experience.
It is a really good experience. Taskin was receipted us at night. He will ask for your flight information in advance to arrange everything. Because at that day, my flight was canceled, and the arrived time in the apartment was late, but he will stay here for you. Btw, whole living experience is quite good and in the middle center of Istanbul.

The hosts were beyond amazing!
Really fantastic location, right in the heart of everything but off on a quiet street for good sleeping conditions. The hosts were beyond amazing— really friendly, thought of small things that really helped (metro card available for use), arranged transport, and gave great recommendations. Looking forward to returning to stay here again some day!

The apartment is cozy, safe and beautiful.
Together with our 2 children of 4 and 7 years old, we have made use of this great apartment. Everything was great about this apartment. It's a real no-brainer. The apartment is in a very cozy, safe and beautiful neighborhood with lots of nice eateries etc. The apartment itself is just outside the hustle and bustle which makes the stay extra nice. If I were to go to Istanbul again someday I would definitely use this apartment again.
