I'm absolutely happy with my stay at Eminönü's cozy "whole apartment experience". Suits perfectly for a solo traveler as I am, as well as for a team of two. You got everything you need right at your hand: two comfortable beds (close to each other), a spacious wardrobe with two compartments, a bright bathroom with a spacious shower place (very important, suits for people of all types of build) and a hairdryer, a kitchen with all the necessities and utensils (electric tea kettle, cutlery, a stove, a fridge, etc.), and a washer right in the kitchen! Very cool. What else one needs for a short-time stay while in Istanbul. The Wi-Fi works great, decent speed, stable connection. This apartment has plenty of electric sockets, no problem with charging anything you have at the same time. The location is great because you can reach Istiklal street in a mere 10 min by walk, to Taksim square (and subway station) in 15 min by walk, you got corner shops with fresh vegetables and fruits, groceries, supermarkets, kebap houses, cafes, etc. There's no window view (1st floor), except the opposite building :) However, not a problem for me, since I was always out exploring the area. I enjoyed this old city district of Beyoğlu very much, really old, has its own vibe and style, and atmosphere. I like the old part of any city given. History. Last, but not least, I'd like to point out a few downsides. I've already mentioned there's no window view since the building is pretty old (as the whole area), even though it's in a good condition in general, this apartment has some tiny little ants here and there (on the kitchen, n the bathroom; keep in mind it's the 1st floor (ground floor, then 1st), old building; and some moisture spots on the kitchen below the sink, that have to be treated. Conclusion. In my opinion, the ratio "price to value" or the formula "you get what you pay for" is really OK. The host is a very friendly kind person, who never leaves you with any question unanswered, always in touch, always responds quickly, he'll give you all the directions prior to check-in, where to, how-to, and whatnot! I'm truly thankful for this stay, happy to be back sometime in the nearest future. All the best, Mahir :)
