ALTAY Airport SUİT

Very close to the airport. Very clean. Perfect location for spending the night when you have a flight to catch up next day. I signed up for the paid shuttle service which picked me up and drop me off at the airport.

There are two bedrooms with the AC. One AC was working perfectly. For some reason, the second AC turned off every 20-25 minutes. Not sure if I was not able to operate or something else. It was already midnight and I did not bother to call.

This was already my second stay at this apartment, and everything was just as perfect as the first time. Clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. I would especially like to mention the host — a very kind, friendly, and welcoming person who truly makes you feel at home. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. At one point, my wife and I even thought: maybe we should move to Turkey? That’s how relaxed, comfortable, and at home we felt during our stay. A huge thank you to the host for such a warm welcome! We have already decided that every time we come to Istanbul, we will stay here.

The only small downside is that the selection of products in the local shops is somewhat limited. If you are planning to stay for several days, I would recommend buying groceries in the city in advance. The apartment is located in a small town near the airport and not far from Istanbul, so this is completely understandable and was not a problem for us. However, if you are not planning to cook in the apartment, this is not an issue at all, as there are several nearby restaurants with delicious food and a great variety of dishes.

As our party of 4 were only there for 1 evening, it was ideal for a transfer from the airport, which our host kindly arranged. Apartment was spacious and clean.

The surrounding area was rundown.

It was close to the airport, our check in and check out times were very flexible (even when checking in at 2.00am) and the apartment was very clean and tidy. Through Google translator the communication with the host was very good. He was very helpful and super accomodating. Beds were dated, but clean and comfortable.

It was in an industrial area and wasn’t particularly aesthetically attractive. That wasn’t too much of an issue for us though as we only needed somewhere to get a few hours sleep before our next flight. Block out blinds would have been beneficial. The tap in the shower was broken and difficult to use and there was no air conditioning.
