I read some reviews about this place and decided on it since we were not so particular about the locality or comfort. But I was in for a surprise when we reached the apartment. It was really nice. The apartment we stayed at was near the Beyazit tram stop ( about 10 mins walking up a slope ). The owner... More

It was convenient for major sites. The owner Saban was wonderfully helpful and very kind as were his other staff. We stayed in an adjoining building. It was a basement appartment but OK. Everything in the appartment looked like it had been bought in jumble sales, but for expensive Istanbul, it was value for money. It was a first visit... More

I spent a lot of time to find suitable hotel/apartment for my 5 persons family. You dont have to do the same. You found it now. Lovely and helpful staff (family business), airport transportation (1 free/apartment, 20 euros second), trusty reservation confirmation with credit card, clean rooms etc. Photos are real at their website and dont make any wrong appearance....

After our first visit to Istanbul and stay at Ekim Apart at the end of last year we mentioned in our review here on TA that we were hoping to return this spring, and we did! Of course we didn't even consider stayig anywhere else, and when we contacted Saban to book our accommodation for this second trip it felt... More

My wife and I stayed at Ekim Apartments for two weeks-10 days in main building and four in Marmara Sea Apartment which is in the newer building. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice. Here is a breakdown- GOOD: 1. Location. Main building, while at first glance seems on a questionable street, is in a perfect spot. A big... More

The room is spacious, well organised, with a table for having breakfast, playing cards or doing some work around. There's a kitchenette with coffee maker, stove, microwave oven and sink. Bed is comfortable and there's also a heater/air conditoner in case of cold or hot weather. We had the top room (okalip) and despite the flight of stairs, has a... More

We came to instanbul as a small family (me, my wife and 3 year old son) and booked with Ekim Apartments. I'm so happy that we did. We stayed at both the new and old building and found them both to be excellent. The real jewel was Saban himself who was very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome.... More
