Just spent a week in this lovely apartment.
Very unique stay in a historic building. Location is a 5-7 minute walk from Galata, Pera and Istiklal. With markets right under the house.
Apartment is quaint, comfortable and full of character. The small balcony is lovely to watch the view from.
Host was great - responsive, gave loads of recommendations, and even settled the internet speed for us as we were "working from home" and needed to be able to take multiple video calls a day.
Location is a street off of Taksim, which means you're still in the 'safer' part of town but away from large tourist areas which we found to be perfect
The only drawback of the stay was the fact that sound seeps into the apartment since its a historic building - not anything the host can do about it sadly, but for a light sleeper like me, I found myselfwaking up multiple times a night whenever a car with loud music passed under the bedroom window. My husband didn't face any issues sleeping so it just depends on how light a sleeper you qre
