3 Double Bedroom, Right Next to Blue Mosque, on Akbiyik Street

We really enjoyed our stay at 3 Double Bedroom, Right Next to Blue Mosque, on Akbiyik Street. The location was perfect, and the apartment had everything we needed. Communication with the host and with Elif was very good, and they were helpful during our stay. One suggestion would be to provide more photos in advance and to let guests know about the stairs, which would be helpful before arrival. It would also be very useful to include the address or name of the restaurant next door in the check-in instructions, because the entrance is a bit hidden between the shops and restaurant. Our driver had difficulty finding the place until we called Elif, and she kindly sent us a photo of the entrance. Overall, we had a very good stay and would recommend it for the excellent location and helpful communication.

Amazing location. Very spacious and reasonably priced. Hot water supply was a bit inconsistent but it is a really old building

Great location- easy walk to all attractions and the Bosporus River/ferry system. Neighbor restaurant Ottoman Kitchen, were extremely helpful, the young men working there helped two "old" ladies by carrying our luggage up and back down the two long flights of stairs. Amazing stay. If you could - directions or explanations in English 4 washer and dryer would be helpful.

Perfect location! Overall, the property was very comfortable and cozy; Clean and white extra towels and bed linen. Dish soap, washing powder, toilet paper, paper towel, cleaning supplies. Romantic bedroom with a lovely glow from the red curtains in the mornings.Plenty of coat hangers.Clean and crisp cotton sheets and lovely Turkish bedspreads. Very nice hosts who responded to our requests in a timely way. Elif"s father came to sort out the drain and hot water issues within minutes and a frying pan was delivered almost immediately upon request. He was an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much since my husband loves eggs for breakfast. This is a fantastic location!. We arrived late at night and Elif and Marco were gracious enough to meet us at the apartment. We were very grateful. We stayed for three weeks but we had two problems: Sadly, the kitchen was very dirty and took hours to clean. Toilet and shower also needed clean. We spend our lives traveling so are used to these things, but disappointing. Nothing bleach and elbow grease can't fix. BIG problem were the young men in the apartment below who made significant noise EVERY SINGLE NIGHT during the quiet hours for the entire three weeks. Marco and Elif did their best to contact the owners of the apartment but nothing worked. Loud shouting for hours on end, doors slamming throughout the night, glass smashing, burning of "stuff" out on the stairway and coming into our apartment, men coming and going all night. We loved the apartment. We loved Istanbul. We loved hearing the Call to Prayer. The young men below are spoiling the apartment for Elif and Marco to rent. We loved your place but we were exhausted after three weeks without a good night's sleep. We know you did your best. Thanks for the offer of a move but we really didn't want to move two more times within a week. Hope you can get those guys sorted. We know it wasn't your fault. Thanks for all the guide books. They were of great help. We will return and would stay here again if its quiet at night. Good luck and thank you. Fantastic location! Couldn't be better!
