It’s a cozy studio-type apartment in a hipstery historic neighborhood with lots of handicraft stores and cafes nearby. The location is really convenient and beautiful, you can see the Golden Horn Bay from the windows.
It’s great for a short stay but do note there’s no washing machine. Be aware of the steep spiral stairs, it’s generally fine for young people but might be problematic if you have a fear of heights, lots of heavy luggage or a disability. The stairs scared us in the beginning but we got used to it fairly quickly.
The apartment was a bit cold when we arrived, so we contacted the host and he sent his assistant to fix the heater immediately and brought us an extra blanket. Overall, the communication with the host was really pleasant, and so was the whole stay. We appreciated the nice and minimalistic interior design and the little gifts the host left for us like herbal teas and Turkish delights.
