Advantages:
A truly ideal location to explore Istanbul. Nearby is all the necessary infrastructure, dozens of restaurants for every taste - from absolutely traditional to absolutely cosmopolitan. 2 minutes to the metro, Istiklal street, the upper station of the funicular.
Convenient and easy check-in and check-out, very friendly host.
A gorgeous large rooftop terrace with hammock and tables is the location for outdoor breakfast or dinner.
Disadvantages:
The apartment seemed smaller than in the photo. Close enough for two. The bathroom is separate, which may also seem inconvenient. The area is very busy in the evening, so it is worth considering the noise in the evening. Otherwise, it is a great place for a young couple or one person to explore Istanbul!
