Alojamientos vacacionales en Taksim Square, Kocatepe

Nest Galata is a great place in a great location close to everything but quiet. Zeyno is super helpful, giving us suggestions for food shops and local restaurants.I had a bit of trouble unlocking the front door (my fault) and she came over within minutes to help,and then walked me to a really nice little food shop nearby and showed me where the metro entrance was ( 3 minutes away).The apartment is great,exactly as it looks in the photos. I stayed for a bit more then two weeks, and really enjoyed it. It is right in the middle of action, steps from the main shopping street, Galata tower and the Beyoglu water-front, in a super safe nbhd and at the end of a little cobbled side street, no traffic under the window. There are some steep streets around that one might have to navigate, but Istanbul is full of those, and it is quite possible to avoid the steepest climbs and get to the apartment without much trouble. I will try to book this apartment again on my next visit to Istanbul. Thanks!

Osman's apartment stands out from the usual fare in in the area - this is a brand new, architect designed building with gorgeous details like exposed steel beams, an exposed brick blind wall, and wall-to-ceiling windows, adorned with tasteful decoration and furniture, not a slipshod ikea flip job. You get your money's worth there for starters. It's perfectly located right between Istiklal/Taksim and Cihangir, walking distance to both. It's at the end of a short alley which means it's blissfully quiet compared to the main streets. It is a bit dark late at night but never felt unsafe. The amenities are great - including an open kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms. The shower cabin should use a bit of leakproofing and a repaint but otherwise lovely. Osman was more than courteous and accommodating the entire time. Couldn't ask for more.

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft. Die Lage ist wirklich ausgezeichnet, alles Wichtige ist fußläufig erreichbar. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top! Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Betten waren sehr gut und wir haben wunderbar geschlafen. Auch die Sauberkeit war hervorragend, alles war sehr gepflegt. Die Kommunikation und der Check-in/Check-out verliefen sehr unkompliziert. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

excellent location and great host. I think the some of the comments are not fair for this location. the location is unbeatable. 5 min to any major destination. a lot of great shops and restaurants around to visit. Comments about the noise, I sleep very light so i wake up very easy. I stayed there 5 days and did not have any noise issue. Yes the shower is small. But i did not feel any issue with that.

Ottimo appartamento a due passi dalle fermate del tram e del bus. Zona tranquilla e ben servita. Il check in è stato veloce e le indicazioni sono state precise. Si trova al secondo piano senza ascensore, con troppi bagagli potrebbe risultare un pochino difficoltoso ma niente di preoccupante. La casa è ospitale, pulita ed ordinata, si può dormire in 4 senza problemi per una settimana. Ottimo il feedback dagli host per la risoluzione di qualche problemino con la wifi e per avere degli asciugamani in più. Se volete scoprire le bellezze di Istanbul passate da Alì ed Eyup!

First of all, Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world. Right across the apartment you have a T1 Tramway that takes you to all the tourist hotspots. The ferry terminal is either five minutes walking distance or one stop with the Tramway. There is a Fenicular train that goes up to the Taksim area, Taksim is close by but uphill so I don’t recommend walking. I stayed there for a month and plan to go back to the same place if it’s available. The price is good and close to everything. It’s a simple efficiency, but it has everything you need and I highly recommend it.

Nice place! Near the center of the city and the sea!

I had a great stay here! The place was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location with plenty of restaurants nearby. The host, Fatih, was super nice and responsive—made everything really easy. Would definitely recommend!

great experience, thanks Chris
