I liked the **comfort** of the guesthouse, especially the ** comfortable bed**, **working AC**, and **noise-blocking windows** for a peaceful stay. The **prime location** in Cihangir, close to Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, and convenient for reaching Sultan Ahmet, also stood out. Plus, Emir's **warm welcome** added a personal touch to the experience.

while the neighborhood of Cihangir is charming, it has many stairs and hills, which might make walking a bit difficult for older individuals or those with disabilities. This isn’t a drawback of the apartment itself, but more about the hilly nature of the location.

The staff was exceptional, especialy Zelihe!. She went over and above what one can expect, with great recommendations. Room very comfortable and spacious. Very nice location with many restaurants in the vicinity and only a short walk to Taskim Square. Would return there anytime and would highly recommend. On the second day, there was a fault with the safety deposit box, but was replaced no more than 10 minutes after it was reported (amazing!) A few supermarkets nearby, so very practical. It was a fantastic stay.

We could only suggest a few hooks at the entrance to hang our coats.

- Great location in Cihangir. - Very clean and modern apartments. It basically looks like on the pictures. - Very friendly staff, especially Erdogan! You can always contact them on Whatsapp, even before your arrival. - There is someone at the reception desk 24/7.

- Wifi works well but using it could be smoother: By default the login you get works only on one device at a time. Using it on multiple devices requires an extra setup or you have to log-off on other devices. - Friends/visitors are not allowed in the apartments. A friend came by to pick me up and wanted to wait in the apartment for a few minutes while I get ready to leave. In the end he was allowed in but we first had to explain the situation. On the one hand it can be annoying, on the other hand you don't need to worry about your neighbors inviting huge groups of people over.

The apartment is very new, clean, well-designed and well-equipped, though we didn't use the kitchen much as there are so many food options around. We loved the neighbourhood and were very satisfied with our choice as it was very easy to commute to all locations either by foot, tram or taxi (however, I would recommend ordering a taxi to a different location - bigger road - as it might take a while to get out of this neighbourhood with narrow streets full of cars). The apartment is fully equipped for a pleasant stay, offering all essentials like dishwasher and washing machine detergents, coffee capsules, pleasant shower gel and shampoo. Also, it was very quiet and we could sleep with the windows open.

Connecting to wi-fi was always a challenge, as it's limited to 2 devices per passport, constantly signs you out and was quite weak. The beds were not very comfortable as they were a bit too soft for us.

It is an amazing apartment, cosy and comfortable, very well located, very well equipped - we travel a lot but I never seen such a well equipped kitchen - everything is brand new! And such a light bathroom with a washing machine - we loved it! The flat was all clean! The bed was very comfortable. The aircon worked perfectly. The Tram 1 is about 9 min walk, which provide a direct link to the main attractions within 10 min., like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern. The apartment is located in the heart of Cihangir. The Istanbul Guesthouse building is all new - just as the apartments. The streets are cleaned, have a good mood. Supermarket Migros is 30 m away, you can find everything here for a good price. Carrefour is 200 m away. There are cafés, restaurants all around. The last day we could keep our bags there until we went to the airport. That's a really nice gesture! You can reach Galataport - the seashore - within a 12-15 min walk. I highly recommend this apartment, I can't wait to come back again! Special thanks to Erdogan and to all his staff - they are All so helpful, kind, mindful. We THANK YOU very much!

A great and supper clean appartment. Almost perfect, everything in the appartment is almost new!, Beds are comfy, you have two airconditions which both work very fine. Location is great, 10 minutes walk to Taksim square 40 meters from a small supper market. 100 meters from a place that you can have a supper Turkish breakfast. One of the good things about this appartment is also that they really do have a 24 hours reception, there is always someone to help you in the reception. Special thanks to Yasin and Emir (I hope I am spelling their name correctly) they are very helpfull and friendly. Once you see the appartments, you would wish you had booked more nights. I really think we will book again.

I highly recommend İstanbul Guesthouse. The guesthouse is located in a convenient area of Cihangir, with several restaurants and a grocery store a short walk away. My unit was clean and organized upon arrival, it had a good layout with many windows for lots of natural light, and the building itself was quiet and felt secure. The inside of the unit had an overall feeling of coziness and cheerfulness. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils, and the appliances worked well and appeared to be newer. The A/C unit in the bedroom was a great relief from the Istanbul heat. The host, Erdogan, was very accommodating, hospitable, and friendly.

One suggestion I have for the guesthouse would be to provide clothes hangers in the closets.

One of the best properties out there, would stay here again. Spacious, equipped with everything you need, we even got a little bit of detergent to wash clothes with. Friendly, helpful and responsive staff, great location with coffee shops all around, only a short walk to the T1 tram, 20ish minute walk to Galata tower, 10 min to Taksim Square (metro), under 20 min to port for ferries…etc (if you want to skip the stairs, select “wheelchair accessible” in Google Maps).

Nothing, everything was excellent!

Istanbul Guesthouse is a perfect place if you want to discover this vibrant city in a central "bubble of peace", located relatively close to many of the main monuments like the Galata tower or the Pera quarter, but in a quiet, trendy and village-like neighborhood (Cihangir). The place is easy to reach by both taxi and public transport and surrounded by nice shops, cafés and restaurants. Staff were very kind and helpful, especially Erdogan, who provided good tips and recommendations.

It is true that the place has a strict external visitors' policy but they communiate clearly and directly about it from the very beginning. I personally do not think there is anything wrong with it. However, if you expect visitors, this is probably not the best location as they are not really a hotel (just a small apartments complex), and they do not have a lobby where external persons can wait.

Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped apartment in a fantastic location. Supermarket right across the street and plethora of cafés and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Large, comfortable bed. Great amenities (loved the Rituals soap and shampoo). Cihangir is a great base for exploring Istanbul and always felt very calm to return to at the end of the day.

Nothing really comes to mind- photos don’t entirely do the apartments justice due to the shape of the building.
