Absolutely loved our stay in this flat. The decor is unique, warm, and nostalgic, yet with the benefits of some modern amenities like the bathroom and kitchen. The walk up the stairs does get a bit tiring, but you may be greeted by an adorable gray cat in the stairwell that makes it a bit better. The area is quiet but close to Istiklal and other tourist destinations. The street is usually empty save for a few people, and there are a few grocery shops right next door. As others have stated, you may feel more comfortable if you are with others walking on the street. The flat itself was a joy to come back to—was hard to leave!
