Pierre Loti is a beautiful part of Istanbul. This place is located very close and makes it easy to get there. The biggest drawback is the football pitch directly next to the building along one entire side. When you look out the windows, you see people playing right there. They played every night until midnight, and then would often hang out kicking the ball against the building and chatting till 1:30 or 2 AM. If you plan to be out very late, then this wouldn’t be a problem for you. The beds were not very comfortable, the house needed cleaning, and the light from the football lights along with the noise from the players made it nearly intolerable. The host was very friendly, but that can’t make up for the problems with the location.
