Cheya Residence Tesvikiye

I liked the apartment. There were 2 bedrooms and a living room with a kitchenette. This was convenient in terms of space and separate places for sleeping and sitting together. The kitchennete was well equipped with utencils. There was also a washing machine and a hanger for drying the laundry. This was a great help. The shower was strong and hot water was not a problem at all. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and full of dining places, cafes, beauty salons, pharmacies and small grocery stores. There was a big hospital next door that would have been helpful in case of emergencies. The staff was friendly and responsive. The only thing I did not like was the A/C. It never worked despite the staff trying 2 times to reset it and make it work. It is obvious that the A/C needs professional technical support. We had to open the windows all day. This meant hot living area in the mornings and mosquito bites at night. So it is a must to bring in mosquito repellents. Despite the great pros in this apartment, I will not be able to come again in summer. I will consider it in winter visits to Istanbul, unless the A/C is fixed.

I liked the liberty of having my own space. A sofa to sit, a kitchen for simple meals, a table to eat. Everything was clean and in working condition. In proximity with stores and restaurants.

Great place to stay. Convenient and friendly staff. We had a problem getting cleaning done but wasn't so much of an issue. My actual problem was they let someone I don't know into my room. I knew there was supposed to be a luggage left for me but never give a permission to enter my room with this person. Luggage could have been kept in the office or staff could have called me. Very unprofessional. And extremely disappointed !
