Really enjoyed my stay! Istanbul has a lot to offer and presents a fascinating experience of the region’s history and culture. The place is in a good location, on the European side and near some nicer hotels and shops, plus the university. Public transit is nearby and the area is quite walkable, albeit hilly. You are near the water so it’s not particularly hot and have a partial ocean view. The place was clean and well advertised. I’d stay here again. I’d say it fits a couple, or maybe 3 people. Not much more. The furnishings were modern and I felt safe. Plus, the unit has a washing machine which is very convenient for any traveler. In sum, solid place for the money and good location for tourists. Be aware it will be hilly to walk around and English is not as common as Western Europe. Oh and it is right next to a large mosque so you will hear the call to prayer in the unit. Great experience and loved my time in Istanbul.
