I stayed here for 3 months while getting adjusted to Istanbul as a student and loved it!
The view is beautiful and you can see the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and golden horn from your room. The location is prime if you want to visit the main attractions of Istanbul.
The walls are marble or concrete (?) and are super thick so the noise of Istikal street was not an issue (I kept the fan on at night on weekends and had no problem with noise) and I couldn’t hear neighbors in the building. It felt like staying in a soundproof room.
I’d highly recommend to travelers who want to visit Istanbul and easily access the main areas through walking or tram.
Safe - As a solo female traveler I felt extremely safe (there were automatic lights and video footage on every floor and multiple locks to enter the building and the room you’d sleep in)
