Overall, Istanberry is a great value! Pros: Clean; spacious; quiet location that's still close to Taksim/Galata (we really liked the location, especially after spending time in some of the busier, more chaotic parts of Istanbul! There's a great little bakery just down the street and a small market right across the street); super nice staff who are very quick to respond to any issues; they make it very easy to book things like PCR tests and airport transfers. Cons: There isn't great soundproofing on the floors so you can hear the upstairs neighbors whenever they walk around (earplugs at night + playing a brown noise soundtrack made this a non-issue for me, and I'm a very very light sleeper); hard mattress that wasn't super comfortable, I slept on the futon most nights which was much softer; internet disconnects frequently even with a travel router, we couldn't do much work from the apartment. Overall, this was a solid, affordable spot for our 6-day stay.
