Perfect host, perfect stay
Water pressure was good, hot water was abundant. Beds and sofa were comfortable. The layout of the flat is perfect and it's very spacious. The elevator works well.
The location is pretty perfect, if you don't mind a 45 min walk across the bridge to some of the specific tourist attractions (you'll want to walk, traffic was constantly a nightmare). The neighborhood is very safe. Excellent bars a few blocks away.
The host was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Everything was very clean. Everything worked and the place was well stocked, better than most. WiFi was good (though didn't quite reach the bedrooms, but the host may adjust the extender to resolve this.). The interior design and painting was adorably unique and delightful.
It's a place I wish I owned myself. If I did I may have never left Istanbul <3
