This is such an ideal location for staying in Istanbul. Everything is so clean and well kept. It's super close to all the main transportation like train and taxi. There's also a tram that you can take up and down Istikal Street, but it's all very walkable. Murat was always there and available for anything and everything that we needed. Definitely take the Hava bus from IST. It's a very cheap and efficient way to get to the Air BNB. It's only a few minute walk from the bus stop. 10/10, definitely recommend staying here! I will definitely stay here again when I return to Istanbul in warmer weather :)
