Burak Apartment is very clean and nice, well-equipped with basic facilities, including cooking utensils (except for ladles). It is a 15-20 minute walk to Camberlitas Tramvoy, Sultanahmet Tramvoy, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. Eateries are everywhere, as well as grocery stores. The host is very kind, attentive, and responsive. They provide daily cleaning service. Just a reminder, the Sultanahmet area is extremely hilly, so this apartment may not be suitable for families with small children or senior citizens. This apartment is a great value for money (budget-friendly place). My family, consisting of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, was satisfied with our 4-day stay there.

Everything good

.Nice staff .Super clean room (they clean it every day) .Location is good, near the main attractions in Sultanahmet (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque...) .A/C in the room .Hot water in the shower .Good value for money

.When you arrive at the hostel there is no reception so you are supposed to contact the owner so he can go to open the door. That was difficult because we didn't have wi-fi, so we had to ask in the hotel nearby. It's true that the owner came right away and was super nice, but we recommend to explain that when you do the reservation, and maybe to inform the WiFi password in advance so the guests can contact the owner when arriving. .Not a hostel for people who travel alone (there is no common area)

The owner was very friendly - he changed my room to one that wasn’t close to the street, so I would have more noise-free nights. My sleep was uninterrupted, which is rare in this part of the city. The location is perfect. The walk up the hill is good for your health if you’re having Turkish cuisine every day and need to spend calories. Most importantly, a cleaner cleans your room at 12pm every day. It’s perfect.

Nothing

Excellent apartment for its price. Good location in the city. Clean, and cleaning was done several times. Friendly owner was always helpful. Huge thanks for providing us with an alternative when the internet was down in the entire area.

It was an amazing experience, the owner was always super attentive with us. We had an accident with the bedsheets and he understood our problem, this is why I believe that he is a good person. We stayed 4 nights and every day somebody was coming to clean the towels, to change the trash bin on the bathroom and to make the bed. The owner was always answering us very quickly. The apartment is in the heart of the city, just 6 minutes from the blue mosque, 5 minutes from Grand Bazar and another 3 from Theodosius Cistern. Additionally, we found it to be very calm, quiet, comfortable and equipped with a mini fridge and a kettle. Best regards, Carlos Cruz Castro & Lucie Gilles

Staff - though did not speak English made all the efforts to communicate to us

Basic amneties like water bottle and stuff not provided About a 10 mins walk to the tram station and it is uphill

The property is excellent, located at the heart of the most tourist attractions. Almost all the tourist destinations of Istanbul are well within walking distance. The apartment is located very near to the main road and definitely there is a connecting road just outside the door. The property owner is super friendly and cooperative. We moved outside of Istanbul and he allowed us to leave behind our staffs at the apartment, even though we did not have any reservation for the later part of our stay at Istanbul. I would definitely recommend Burak apartment for your stay at Istanbul.

Nothing

Tidy and warm

The location, the amenities and the atmosphere everything a family needs is within walking distance from shopping, food, parks and well being facilities such as hamams all walking distance from the apartment For those who need to pray the masjid is on the corner of the street. The staff were also very helpful and pleasant even considering the language barrier nothing was too much trouble they were always happy to assist.

Nothing to be honest everything we needed we had, the language barrier was not an issue with the help of translation apps.

Spacious room with good shower, short walk from grand bazaar and blue mosque. The staff we dealt with were very nice. A cat guards the door to the property and greets you on your return. A few good restaurants around. Overall value for money.

The bed was two singles pushed together and was very uncomfortable. The staff also weren’t aware of the booking but we were lucky someone was walking past soon after we arrived and contacted the manager. Sound proofing is poor.
