I came to Istanbul to see my family after 5 years. It was a perfect decision to rent this place. It is a 4-story building so it is very comfortable for multiple families and give privacy to everyone. We stayed here for 12 days. The location is nice if you are interested in historic area. The neighborhood is historic with lots of narrow alleys, old buildings and small businesses. It is close to bus station and port. If you are into walking for 30 minutes, you can walk to grand bazaar or Galata tower. Istanbul is a kind city to cats and dogs. In this neighborhood, you will see lots of cute cats. There are 2-3 pet shop in the neighborhood so you can buy food to feed these cute neighborhood cats. Inside the house, there are enough appliances for you to cook. You can easily do grocery shopping from neighborhood. Isle, the owner, is very helpful and nice. She helped me to get cab from and to the airport. She took me to a neighborhood tour and I enjoyed talking to her. She also suggested lots of good places to me. She speaks English fluently so it makes your life much easier. I will definitely come back here for my future family reunion.
