The hosts were nice, friendly, and responsive. We arrived fairly late at night; they greeted us at the door and helped us with the luggage.
One of them even went downstairs and bought us bottles of water when he realized we were talking about it.
Pros:
- Location: it is located close to the Taksim square and public transport (~10-mins walk).
- Amenities: You have enough amenities to spend a few days there (heating and cooling, washer but no dryer, kitchen stuff, etc.)
- Spacious: 3 bedrooms were enough (there were 6 of us) and the apartment had a balcony with a view of Gatala Tower and the Blue Mosque
- Proximity: Walking distance to cafés, restaurants and grocery stores. Most of them open early in the morning until late at night.
Cons:
- Noise: the most drawback of the place; it is located in a busy area of the city and there are loud noises of people and cars with loud music even after midnight. There is a mosque on the other side of the street which say prayers as early as 6 am.
