Excellent apartment

We had a lovely time in the apartment – spacious rooms, nicely appointed, with new appliances. Very clean. The two and half baths were much appreciated, given that there were five of us. Views from the rooftop were stunning. The local manager was very helpful and friendly. Great location, with Istiklal a few short steps away. We highly recommend this place!

All over a very nice stay. Good location (but a bit noisy, as it is situated in a pedestrian street), the apartment is very spacy (the diningarea is a bit small), the kitchen is well equipped, the bathrooms very nice, the location superb and the apartment was clean and well maintained.
I would recommend it to friends.

what a beauty

We had a wonderful week at Firuze's apartment. The apartment was larger than expected, cool and well air conditioned during the August heat and absolutely perfectly situated right in the center of Istanbul (a short walk away from Galata bridge). The roof terrace offered gorgeous views over the Bosporus. We travelled with 2 teenagers, who appreciated their own rooms, and who loved our daily evening strolls along Istanbul's 'happening' shopping zone, which starts just a few steps outside the building. A well supplied food shop is just a few blocks away, and the Tunel that brought us home every day after long excursions into Istanbul's fascinating history stops just 1 block up the road. We could not have chosen a better accommodation in this magnificent city.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking time to post your kind review. It was a pleasure to host you. It is wonderful to know that we played a small part in making your vacation in Istanbul memorable.

We, two senior couples, spent six nights at Firuze, and absolutely loved it! The location is excellent in that it is very close to public transportation, shops, and restaurants. The apartment itself is even more special than the photos indicate, with a sparkling, well equiped kitchen, excellent beds, modern baths, and plenty of space. The owner and her property manager were attentive and easy to deal with. We highly recommend Firuze.
