A bit of a hiccup at check in, our driver made us get out and walk the last three blocks due to the hills his van wouldn’t make it in the rain. Upon arrival the key was not where it was supposed to be, had to wait about thirty minutes for a key to be brought by Baris. Other than that it was a great stay, enough room for our small family of five. The neighborhood is super close to the metro, and the port. All of the hot button sites within 40 minutes of travel. We explored all of Istanbul and had a great home base during our trip. Would recommend if you are a budget minded traveler looking for good value and location.
