By staying at this place you will get a great host (attentive, helpful and responsive) and the best location in Istanbul for first-time travellers. The neighbourhood is super lovely and vibrant, it is also not too far from the major historic sites. The apartment itself is comfortable for a couple, well-equipped and was very clean. The only minor issue we have encountered was the noise coming from the AC system of the opposite building, but if you do not mind keeping the soundproof windows closed and if you are not hypersensitive to sounds, you should be just fine.
Overall, we recommend this apartment and will definitely come back if we have the opportunity!
