Overall, we really enjoyed the stylish flat and all the amenities provided. The area is full of character and you get to see where local people live in Istanbul. If only the weather was a bit better we could have enjoyed the terrace much more!
We were pleasantly surprised on Sunday to wake up and find a market on the street outside. The host also kindly provided us with a shuttle bus service to and from the airport. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the flat if you're looking to stay close to the action.
The only downside is the daily walk up the stairs but we were aware of this before booking. We did also have some initial trouble getting into the flat but the host did everything to make up for this.
