In fact, it is the serviced apartments and rental flats that have become widely popular among travelers.

If you are wondering why business travelers and families on holiday prefer these accommodations, then here is what you need to know.

Space

It’s basic! Serviced apartments and rental accommodations in Istanbul are at least 40 to 60 percent larger than a typical hotel room. They come with a variety of features, including separate bedroom, bathroom and a living area. You also get an option to choose among studio, one to three bedroom apartments. So, why live in a cramped hotel room?

Price

Serviced apartments for short term stays and furnished rental flats or homes for long term stays usually cost less than an average traditional hotel. And it isn’t just the room rate that we are talking about. Rent a flat in Istanbul and you will notice your savings spiking up! With kitchens available, travelers can cook their own food and save hefty meal bills. If not, they can ask a cook to prepare sumptuous meals right in their kitchen. Plus, you can buy your own drinks and do your laundry, if required. Otherwise, the staff is always there to assist you.

Flexible

Now, you can’t really invite a client to your small hotel room. And what if your colleagues, city friends or visitors wish to meet you? Well, you can entertain them all in a large serviced apartment. Plus, you don’t even have to pay any additional expenses. That’s one of the main reasons behind rising popularity of rental flats and apartments.

Location

If you choose wisely, you can easily get a rental apartment close to the heart of the city. Therefore, you won’t have to mind taking expensive modes of transportation for work or pleasure. The best hotel apartments are located in tranquil surroundings, but still have proximity to business centers, transport modes, shops and other places of interest.

Economy viability, proximal location, wide range of services, flexibility and personal space are some of the main factors that make serviced apartments and rental flats so popular among tourists in Istanbul.
