Fatih was a good host and the room was nice, bright and clean. The location was priceless, just off Istiklal Caddesi and still in a quiet street. There are lots of things to do and restaurants to go to nearby. Since the whole house and therefor the appartment above has wooden floors you might have some trouble if you're a light sleeper. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay and will come back the next time we're in Istanbul.
