Great location and value. Breakfast is included in the price at the cafe downstairs and every morning it’s lovely to sit there and prepare for the day. The area is local, young, arty and away from the box ticking tourist areas (which are only 20 mins away by ferry, which is only 6 lira for the journey - get yourself an Istanbul card)
The apartment is being worked on and has a few quirks (it’s not perfection) but it’s great value and we would return without hesitation.
For me this the the best area of Istanbul, close to Moda. Plenty of bars, restaurants and nice places to spend an evening. Recommended.
