This is a perfect location for a week in Istanbul. The area is walkable, near public transit in multiple directions, and it is within a 10 minute walk of a bustling pedestrian boulevard with shops and restaurants galore. Even with so much activity in close proximity, the apartment building itself is in a very quiet location. As others have mentioned, the hill is steep, so it can be a bit of a workout. The check-in process was very easy, and the hosts are very responsive. We felt safe throughout. The place itself is very basic, but gets the job done. The wifi is strong, and the smart TV works fine. I would suggest an A/C unit be added to the bedroom itself as it can get quite stuffy at night. Otherwise, you have everything you need in this apartment style room.
