Emre and his employees at the hotel were helpful and available to help. The apartment was clean, cozy and looked exactly like the pictures. It is an old building and the look and feel of it really adds to the charm of the place. Location wise, its brilliant where its about 7 mins walking distance to Taksim square and Istiklal avenue but also to the drop/pick up place for the Havaist busses to/from the Istanbul airport. This was especially convenient as we had to take an early morning buss to the Istanbul airport t 6:45 on our last day.
The apartment was clean and the furniture was steady and nice. There is no microwave oven and as this is a very old building, you clearly hear people walking and speaking upstairs, which means that they probably hear you as well. If you are a light sleeper then you have to take this into account. On one of the days (Saturday), the water simply disappeared in the morning as it was cut-off at the back. This was very annoying and caused some issues but according to Emre it was cut-off by the city without any prior indication and also for the whole neighborhood so there was not much that he could do there.
All in all, the location is brilliant, the place is tidy, clean and looks exactly like the building. The host and his stuff are helpful so I would recommend the place for others.
