centrally located in Beyoglu and close to all the restaurants, bars, shopping and sightseeing. On the first floor so easy to access. There are no lifts in these old buildings so you must watch out for that. There was noise on the streets, but we all managed to sleep through it easily. The apartment was clean but not very well equipped, so we had to rush out for water and groceries. luckily there are grocery stores close by. all said and done, it was accurately protrayed and the host was communicative and helpful. there is an issue with water temperature in the bathroom-- tends to waver, but didn't really bother us. all in all a pleasant place to stay in the city.
