About
Homelike Residence
Homelike Residence sits in a historic pocket of Istanbul’s Kurtuluş district, about 10 minutes on foot from Osmanbey 2 metro station and a 5-minute walk from the Istanbul Military Museum. The property offers a range of apartments, from economy basement rooms to two-bedroom setups, each with a shower, heating, and air conditioning. Shared spaces include a sitting area, dining table, and an outdoor dining area, with a washing machine and ironing facilities available in-unit.
The 4-star residence keeps things self-sufficient: a kitchenette with cookware, an electric kettle, and a dining table support longer stays, while practical touches like a safe deposit box, currency exchange, and 24-hour reception smooth arrival and departure. Guest reviews consistently highlight the helpful staff and the apartment's convenience for exploring the city. Note that the property is non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Location near metro and landmarks — A 10-minute walk to Osmanbey 2 metro and 5 minutes to Istanbul Military Museum puts most of the city within easy reach, with the Şişli shopping district nearby.
- Apartment-style convenience — Kitchenette with cookware, dining table, and washing machine support longer stays, and the sitting area adds comfort.
- Helpful and flexible staff — Guests frequently note the attentive, accommodating team, from wake-up calls to last-minute reservation changes.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basement and economy rooms are basic — The Economy Apartment Basement and Standard Apartment have fewer features (no balcony, no separate bedroom), and some guests found the basics sufficient but not luxurious.
- Potential Wi-Fi and extra charge issues — One review reported lack of Wi-Fi and unexpected extra charges, although these may be isolated incidents.
- Not all rooms have a balcony — Only the Apartment Terrace has a balcony, so other units miss out on outdoor space despite the property having an outdoor dining area.

8.9Verified guest“The staff were exceptional and really accommodating when we needed to change our family's reservation at short notice. The location was perfect, with lovely parks and easy access to Vodafone Park and Istiklal Street. However, the lack of Wi-Fi, poor customer service, and unexpected extra charges left a sour taste. Still, it was a cozy stay for family bonding.”
