I'll start with some downsides, to finish on the positive note 😁 It was quite chilly sometimes, so if you plan to come during cold season - bring your pajamas. We did and never regretted it. To take a shower some preparations had to be made: we had to warm shower area with a heater and then hot water. All this minor difficulties are connected, of course, to the cold weather. The soundproofing is close to none, on the other hand the area is really quiet. On the bright side, the location is indeed magnificent. Close to subway, tram, tons of good cafes and restaurants, and, of course, you can almost see the Galata tower from your window 😉 Samet is a great host!
