This was a great stay . The size of the apartment was perfect for my wife and I. Good climate control, storage space, and basically all the amenities you'll need are here. You do have to walk up quite a few stairs to reach the apartment, so do keep that in mind. The location is ideally situated near busy and popular Iskitlal street. The metro station and lift (which will get you just about anywhere you need to go in Istanbul) are a ten minute walk away. There are a few cafes just outside of the building so there will be some noise at night especially on weekends. But I didn't find it too disturbing. The hosts are friendly and responsive and happy to give local recommendations. Overall, would recommend and would stay again.
