Excellent apartment

Review Submitted: November 13, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
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!

The location of this property is right in the centre of the town, you have all the shops and restaurants and tourist attractions just on your doorstep. The flat is in one of the old traditional grand buildings with a wide marble staircase and an ornate balcony. The flat itself is stunning, all newly furbished and decorated with all the mod cons. It is very clean, confortable and spacious, you can't wish for a better private accommodation.

A smart apartment, situated in Tunel, at the right end of Istakal Caddesi for the best of the bars in this part of town and an easy and very pleasant walk down past the Galata Tower and over the Galata Bridge to Sultanahmet and the sights of old Istanbul. And yes, there really is a jacuzzi-bath and, yes, it really does work. Recommended.

Best Location in Istanbul.
We went as a group of friends. The apartment was very spacious and luxurious. At the end of a busy day sightseeing with didn't have to wait turns to have a shower as there was 3 in the apartment. The steam shower and the jaccuzi were fantastic. Just the perfect thing after hours of walking in Istanbul and best of all one could really relax listening to music while having a steam or bath. True luxury. There are endless choices of bars and restaurants in the area and no need to take a taxi afterwards. We paid money to watch Istanbul from Galata Tower before realizing we could have watched it from the wonderfull roof terrace. The view is simply magnificent. Firuze Apartment is the best holiday apartment we have stayed in and would difinitly recommend it.
