Galata perfeita

9.0

Janelas anti ruído, não se escuta nada da rua, nem as preces nos altos falantes, máquina de lavar roupa e lava-louças.

− Falta de um box que feche o espaço do chuveiro, somente uma parte e fechada e molhávamos o banheiro mesmo tomando cuidado.

Loved staying there and would do it again!

10.0

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Istanbul and would definitely stay here again on a future visit. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Galata Tower and surrounded by shops, restaurants, cafés, art stores, and a convenience store located right in the same building. Public transportation is also very close, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is modern, spacious, and very comfortable. It has all the amenities needed for a longer stay, including a washer, a comfortable bed, excellent water pressure in the shower, and a beautiful balcony with partial views of the Golden Horn and surrounding buildings. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. After long days of sightseeing, it was always nice to come back and relax here. The building has an elevator, which made carrying luggage much easier, especially since the apartment was on the fourth floor. What truly stood out was the host’s excellent communication and hospitality. I accidentally booked the wrong checkout date and needed an additional night. Although the apartment was no longer available, the host immediately arranged for us to stay in another apartment in the same building without hesitation. The replacement apartment was also very nice, and the seamless transition made our last night in Istanbul stress-free. Overall, we loved our stay. The combination of the fantastic location, comfortable accommodations, beautiful balcony, and outstanding host made this a great experience. I highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again on my next trip to Istanbul.

Отличный персонал и местоположение.

10.0

Бесконтактное заселение, местоположение, наличие лифта и продуктового магазина. Есть всё необходимое для длительного проживания. Управляющий объектом пошёл навстречу и разрешил остаться в квартире до 16:00 в связи с моим переносом рейса на вечер. За что огромная благодарность. Понятно, что если квартира была бы кем-то забронировала на этот день, меня бы попросили её освободить, но на этот случай на первом этаже здания есть камера хранения.

− Квартира 501 находятся на пятом этаже есть балкон с прекрасным видом на Босфор и Галатапорт. Но нигде не указано, что это Мансардный этаж со скошенными потолками и метражом около 40 метров, а не 69 метров как указано на сайте.
