Easy check in (even at 1am!). Great location. Easy access to attractions and local transit. Emrah provided lots of recos for restaurants and local hammans. Laundry in the apartment was very useful. Nice touch with bottled water, juice, fruit and eggs. Emrah is a gracious and accommodating host. Felt safe as a female traveler even late at night. Side note - 5 minute walk to Soho House Istanbul which has one of the best rooftops, pools and views of the city (need to be a member).
