Tugce's place is a simple and great launchpad for any stay in Istanbul. It is well-located near a metro, ATMs, and great cafes for days when you just need to chill out. It also has all the proper amenities for a nice night in. The water view from the patio is really nice :) I definitely recommend staying here rather than a hotel in the more touristy areas because it close by everything you need and more private. Only recommendation is to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper because there were a couple of nights where the music from nearby restaurants was kind of loud for me. Otherwise, it was really nice and Tugce was very helpful and communicative.
