Photos and Description of the Istanbul vacation condo rental
Condominium, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)

The condominium is located in a middle-class Istanbul neighborhood populated by professionals, retired people, children, teenagers, artists and homemakers. Being on the 10th floor, it is quiet.

It is about 20-30 minutes from the airport and Old Istanbul by cab, depending on traffic. Very picturesque areas like Bebek & Arnavutkoy have an abundance of exquisite fresh seafood restaurants, and also provide shopping, fishing and people-watching opportunities. They are about 10 minutes by cab, and for the adventurer - within downhill walking distance on steep, narrow, cobbled streets .

The Artists' Park around the corner serves coffee, tea and Sunday brunch. The bakery across the street is open at 7 am with take-out pastries fresh from the oven, for a relaxed breakfast at home.

The building is secure, accessible only to residents.

For groups of more than 5 people, we have an adjacent condo with the same number of rooms and rates.

Metered taxicabs are right around the entrance and take people expertly along ancient and modern streets of Istanbul anywhere in the city with reasonable fares. Award winning shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, barbers, banks, bookstores and newspaper stands, are within a short walking distance.

Pleasantly Surprised

Condo was as described on website. Clean, well maintained, updated appliances. If you are going to spend most of your time on the Asian side of a istanbul I would recommend renting on that side. Got expensive using taxis and ferries every day. Enjoyed trips on ferries. Owner always helpful and provided useful info. Bosphorus too far away to walk. Akmerkez great mall but on the expensive side. Change money in Istanbul to lira. Got better rate. I would recommend apartment if you are spending most time on European side. There is shopping, taksim square and a market that we found. Enjoyed our trip immensely.

the flat in a nice area , very family oriented area . there is Taxi's stand next to the building . the metro is not that close . plus to take a cab to the metro and then take 2 metro to take u where u r going is pain in the neck . just take the cab and make sure they have their meter on . u end up paying the same thing or even less. now the flat in my opinion need a new beds for all 3 bedrooms . my 16 years old slept in the pull out bed and he kept saying that something about it keep making him up . me and my 9 years old shared the bed in the 2nd bedroom to tell u the truth it was so painful and we were living on advil from our back pain . the mattres is not even . its lumpy from the middle and not even with the sides . u feel u t rolling out of bed . my 9 years old dropped 4 times from the bed cuz of this issue . the 3rd bedroom have folding mattress that was used by my 14 years old . she was not having good time with the top where she puts her head as it was wood so there was a worn out baby mattress behind the folding mattress and we used it on top of the wood area . that made it even worse cuz she have that area higher than the rest of her body. the bathrooms were not cleaned good when we arrived , my kids refused to use any until i cleaned both bathrooms . by the 3rd night i hired the cleaning lady to come and clean the flat . the kitchen have everything u need . i did not cook at all but we did have breakfast and late snacks. there is a mall nearby like 10 min walk the mall was a must lunch place for us every day . the food was good and super clean . Oya is super nice lady and was very helpful before our arrival . i would recommend this place again if i know for a fact there is new beds in all 3 bedrooms .

Owner's Response: Thank you, Arij, for your comments. It is the first time my guests are telling me the beds are not comfortable - so I'll make sure to check them out when I am there personally later this year. I have been getting guest reviews like the one who stayed for a whole month last year and commented: "...the bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds (Temporpedic mattresses?)...".
As to the cleanliness - you should have told the caretaker, and he would have it cleaned immediately at no charge. What I heard from the cleaners later was that they had never seen it left so dirty and messy by any other guest. Guess we have different opinions on "clean."

Home away from Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this well equipped, nicely decorated condo in a wonderful area of Istanbul. While some may think being 45 minutes (via public transportation) away from the Old Town area is a disadvantage, we and our family members found it to be a comfortable retreat after tourist activities. With Akmerkez Mall an easy 10 minute walk away, a superb city part the same, shops, restaurants, bus and taxis stands at your doorstep, we found Oya's unit to be in the perfect location for all that we wanted to do. The best part is certainly the views from this condo. You have virtually a panoramic window to the entire Istanbul area including the Asian side, a great deal of the Bosphorus, the 'Second Bridge,' and all in between. This unit is suited for families including small children and Oya and the building's caretakers ensure that you have a hassle-free stay. I highly recommend that anyone coming to Istanbul should consider this condo for their accommodations. Raleigh, NC

A Very Nice Place

4 of 5
Submitted: January 15, 2013 Stayed: August 2012
Oya was great to work with and very prompt with emails and easy to reach on the phone. She held the dates open for us as we were finalizing our plans and promised to let us know first if someone else requested to reserve those dates.

We enjoyed our 10-day stay in the apartment. The location was great for us because we had been to IST many times and did not need to do intense sight-seeing. The distance from major tourist attractions may not be long but because of traffic it can take one hour or more to reach those places. It is best to use ferries, trams and metro in IST as much as possible to avoid street traffic that will slow and often completely stop cabs/buses. Metro system is not extensive. Cabdrivers can take you for a longer than needed ride even if you know the way (they will claim construction as the reason for detour).

The place was clean and comfortable. The AC was much appreciated during our August stay. The neighborhood is urban and upscale with several supermarkets, bakeries and a few restaurants. We enjoyed the Artists park nearby. The full bath was nicely renovated. The kitchen was nice, very functional and had everything we needed.

The bedrooms were on the small side but enough for us. The smallest bedroom does not have a bed but a fold-out (on the floor) foam couch. Having a futon instead would be a nice improvement. Also, having heavy drapes or shades in the bedrooms to block the morning light could help those who are easily awakened by light. The full dining table was good to have but the smaller chairs in the living room were worn and not that comfortable.

Overall a very nice and peaceful place in a nice residential neighborhood for longer stays for larger groups and families.

Owner's Response: Thank you very much for your realistic review. I went to Istanbul right after you left and my first priority was to have the dining room chairs repaired and polished, also had tailored covers made for them. Next time, you will feel much more comfortable.
