We really enjoyed our stay here.
Initially we were a little thrown off with the accuracy between the photos and what the unit actually looked like (different furniture or certain furniture that wasnt there - like bar stools) but I'm guessing the host has several units or something because reception was quick to come up and provide us with the things we wanted (e.g. an extra bed). Over our 14 night stay, this place really began to feel like our home.
As for the location - we would travel into old city Istanbul a few times and the taksi rides were only super long if you went during rush hours, but even then they were pretty cheap and the drive didn't feel that long.
There is some noise from the highways and about 5 times a day you can hear the prayers (forgive me, I don't know what to call it), but it was all background/white noise once you get used to it.
Nes was a great host, we would hear back from her within minutes of messaging her if we needed anything or had any questions, and shortly after reception would come up as well.
Also, FYI - if you need a covid test, reception can arrange for the hospital to come to your room.
Would 100% stay here again !
