Stay Lab Residence

I went to Istanbul for a family wedding at the very nearby Pera Palace. So the location was perfect. I was staying with my adult son, so having two bedrooms was important and both were doubles and equally comfortable, and as one was ensuite we didn't need to share a bathroom. As others have mentioned, the view from the good sized living room is spectacular in the daytime and more so at night. Definitely a room with a view, including of the Pera Palace, Golden Horn river and across the other side with mosques. The air con worked well. Has a good size fridge, kettle and toasted sandwich maker as well as microwave. The hob, which we didn't use has two electric rings. There is a switch by the door to put on green, if you want your room cleaned / laundry changed etc. The apartment was quite moden with real wood floors. It was clean and my bed was comfortable. It was also very quiet. The price was very reasonable, compared to many of the local hotels, so a lot more for less. The communication with owner via booking.com was very good. I've included some photos of the view.

- Perfect location - Accepted early check-in - The view from the room - 4th floor - Mehmet and Vera were always available online

This place exceeded my expectations. I booked this location for a family reunion and general tourism in Istanbul. We booked the penthouse (7th floor), that required steps from the sixth floor (the last floor accessible via elevator). I also booked my family's room on the 3rd floor (accessible via elevator). My family cooked many of their own meals, which the kitchenette accommodations easily afforded. This made for a wonderfully convenient location for this family reunion and for traveling to tourist, shopping, and historic sites across Istanbul. My family loved the accommodations. This was a terrific location, a great value, had good amenities, and I would easily book this location again.

Vera checked us in - she was very helpful and polite. I did not have to reach out to her again except for the AC not cooling for us - but she did respond quickly. Location is amazing. 30 seconds and you are on Istikhal Street. Nice upity builidng, made well w heavy steel and on top a coffee shop that was open pretty late. Next door to a cleaners / laundry as well. Restaurants galore. Photos are accurate of the view. There is no bad view from any floor of the Stay Labs.

Location, location, location. The apartments are newly renovated and furnished. Everything you might need in a city break like Istanbul, and great for small families, as the kids get to have an "apartment" feeling instead of a small cramped hotel room.
