This place is magical. I would love to visit it again off-season. The decoration is beyond charming and it gets a ton of light and feels even bigger than the photos relate - and the photos already “feel” spacious. I particularly enjoyed the wifi sound system and making coffee in the mornings - tip: Dripist coffee down the street grinds great coffee and Kronotrop is a 10-15 minute walk or so and is also excellent. There is also a super walk in closet which is super handy for changing, storing suitcases, etc .
I really can’t think of minuses here. I suppose the walk-up staircase may be an issue for some but in Beyoglu this is more often than not the case. I also personally can’t stand Istiklal Street which is steps away… but, big picture, this makes no difference as Galata is a five minute walk away and Cihangir and Karakoy not much further. As a base to walk around Beyoglu it’s perfect!
Lovely place and really I think it’s one of those places that will soon be booked out 8 months in advance! So, book it while you can.
