İstanbul Ataköy Residance: sea-view apartment, EV charging

İstanbul Ataköy Residance Bakırköy Site İçi luxury daire is an apartment building on Çobançeşmesi E-5 Yan Yol Caddesi, in the Ataköy 7-8-9-10 kısım mahallesi of Bakırköy, postcode 34158. The apartment is unit D:115 on the twelfth floor of the Nivo Ataköy Residans, and it is the property's single room type.

Measured in a straight line, Koça Mustafa Pasha Mosque is about 8.4 km from the building, Sancaktar Hayrettin Mosque about 8.9 km, Mihrimah Edirnekapı Mosque about 9.8 km and Fenari Isa Mosque about 10 km. Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 30.8 km away, in a straight line.

The One-Bedroom Apartment is the only room type. It measures 30 m², sleeps up to 4 and has a sea view. Its beds are a super-king bed, a twin bed and a sofa bed: a couple takes the super-king, and the twin and the sofa bed add two further sleeping places, up to four in total.

For a couple with one or two children, the arrangement works well: each child gets a bed of their own, children are allowed, and the apartment is designated a family room. For two adults who want separate beds, the super-king and the twin cover it with a sofa to spare. Four adults can also share the apartment, with the sofa bed as the fourth bed, though 30 m² for four people leaves little spare space.

The building has a restaurant, and room service runs through a mobile app rather than a card by the door. A lift serves the twelfth floor, so the height of the apartment is not a daily climb. Parking at the building is free, and there is an electric vehicle charging station, which matters to anyone arriving in an EV: the car can charge over the stay rather than at a separate stop.

The building is staffed and secured around the clock, which is worth knowing for a twelfth-floor unit in a residential block rather than a hotel corridor.

• Check-in is from 14:00.
• Check-out is until 11:00.
• Children are allowed.
• Pets are not allowed.
• Parking is free.

The apartment suits a couple or a family with children travelling by car: children are allowed, the three beds cover a family of up to four, and free parking with an EV charging station removes the usual city-car costs and complications. It also suits anyone who prefers an apartment in a residential building over a conventional hotel room, and anyone who values a sea view from a high floor.

It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed. It does not suit a group larger than four, since the only room type sleeps up to four and there is no second room type to combine. And anyone who wants a choice of units, or a range of room sizes to pick from, will not find that here.
