The hosts were nice, friendly, and responsive.
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.
- Elevator: it is a big plus in this historical neigborhood.
Cons:
- Noise: it is located in a busy area of the city. There is a mosque on the other side of the street which say prayers as early as 6 am.
- Bathroom smell: it is an old building and bathroom has a bit of smell but very clean.
Overall, great stay with family. Will come back.
