What a perfect location for exploring. Right around the corner from may neighborhoods and walking distance to almost everything you want to see. This apartment was well appointed and just what we needed. The space is cozy and intimate. Never felt cold and was perfect for 3 adults. Any more would have been to tight in our opinion. The back area was a lovely space to enjoy breakfast in the morning and a cocktail in the evening. Since the building is older (with lots of charm) a few things aren't as convenient as a newer build (WiFi only reaches living room and kitchen, AC is in living room only) but the upgrades are obvious and done well. On top of that Emir was kind, helpful, available via text and the perfect host. If you needed him he was there for you but if you didn't he wasn't obtrusive. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone traveling to Istanbul and looking to be immursed into the day to day culture.
