This place was fantastic! Melanie was a great host, the place was super clean + modern, and has a full kitchen. The front room and balcony overlook a lively street but the noise is not too bad with the windows closed. There is a room at the back if you are a light sleeper. Melanie provided a really great guide for guests with everythinf you would need to know ie how to use the laundry machine, nearby restaurants etc. She was quick to respond to questions. Melanie and her husband personally greeted us for check-in, which was very kind. Great location, super clean place, comfy beds - this place had it all. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Istanbul.
