Erol was a great host. Very flexible, accommodating all our requests. The place is very clean and spacious. Keep in mind the location tends to be noisy, particularly over the weekend; but having earplugs really helps in most cases.
Only if you have so many luggage with you, taking them to the third floor might be challenging as there is no elevator in the building. Also note you have to carry your luggage to a location nearby, as vehicles are not permitted to operate in the area. Even if a vehicle manages to get to the Istiklal Street, carrying the luggage is a big workout due to the sloped street.
Otherwise enjoy the neighborhood, the host’s’ hospitality, and many landmarks to visit!
