The location is superb. A 5 - 10 minute walk to either the train station or bus stop. Also, right next to the Pera Palace and many late night street food vendors, bars and restaurants. Its a great place to either indulge in the culture or do more touristy things. The was very comfortable and clean. The AC worked perfectly and the view was spectacular. The host was also very helpful when needed and it felt very safe as well. A great stay in Istanbul and well worth the price and time
