Great location for a visit to Istanbul. Area is busy but the street and apartment are quiet. It has a small balcony with no view to speak of but you do see the sky and get some natural sunlight. As a previous guest reported the shower fixture is broken so you have to hold by hand and one of the taps keeps falling off. Also has to buy my own hand and dish soap! The washing machine is a nice amenity – a clothes line on the balcony would be nice. If these small things are taken care of, it would be perfect. Be sure to get the check in instructions sent to you early enough. I had to ask for them and by the time they were sent I was on my way which led to an unnecessary delay in checking in! Host is reasonably responsive to any issues.
