Lovely and Snug Flat: apartment 0.9 km from Taksim Square

The flat stands at Ömer Hayyam Caddesi no 3, postcode 34435, in Istanbul. The property is an apartment building, and it offers a single one-bedroom apartment rather than a range of rooms. Its name refers to Istiklal Street, and Taksim Square sits about 0.9 km away, in a straight line.

All distances that follow are straight-line.

• Taksim Square: about 0.9 km
• Galata Tower: about 1.1 km
• Süleymaniye Mosque: about 2.4 km
• Topkapı Palace: about 2.6 km
• Hagia Sophia: about 3.1 km
• Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 3.4 km
• Istanbul Airport (IST): about 31.7 km

The property has a single room type: the One-Bedroom Apartment, which measures 15 m², has one double bed and sleeps up to 3. For two guests sharing the double it is a straightforward fit. A third guest makes the flat tight, since 15 m² is all there is, so three adults will be snug; a couple with one child has a workable arrangement, and children are allowed.

There is no larger unit, no second apartment and no other bed arrangement in the building. The double bed is the only bed, so a party needing more than one bed or more than three places cannot be accommodated here.

Because the whole property is one apartment, a stay here is a private one: a single party takes the flat, and there are no other rooms let in the building. This makes it a different kind of stay from a multi-room hotel, and it suits travellers who want a place to themselves rather than a room among many.

With children allowed and a capacity of three, the flat can also serve a small family, provided the 15 m² and the single double bed are enough for the party.

Check-in runs from 16:00, and the latest check-in is 21:00. A traveller whose flight or bus reaches Istanbul late in the evening should note this cut-off, as the flat takes no check-ins after 21:00. Check-out is until 10:00, so the departure day starts early.

Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, in any part of the property.

In short, this is a small, single-apartment property for a party of no more than three, in a building on Ömer Hayyam Caddesi with Taksim Square about 0.9 km away in a straight line.
