Batuhan's flat provided an excellent spot to explore Istanbul from. The flat itself is small and quite simply equipped, but in the midst of the Old Pera district right by the Golden Horn, where it is within walking distance of endless attractions on both sides of the European shore as well as a number of public transit options. If you get cold easily and like to stay up late, you may, however, find it a curious combination of both too cold and too stuffy for comfort — the heater is placed right underneath the only two tiny, rather drafty windows in the entire flat, so heat tends to dissipate quite easily, especially overnight. At the same time, because there are only the two tiny windows, it can get quite stuffy inside over the course of the day, especially in the unventilated bathroom. I didn't actually mind given the outstandingly affordable price per night, but if you have sensitivities, you might prefer a different flat. All in all, recommended with a couple of caveats!
