This apartment is about location:
- 5 min walk to Şişhane subway station and Tünel (underground funicular line to Golden Horn shore and ferry terminals);
- Famous sites nearby (İstiklal Avenue at the corner, Galata tower 7 min walk, Taksim square 15 min. walk).
Great for its money, but facilities in apartment require some renovations.
Things I should warn about:
- electric switches and plugs are flimsy;
- water heater is enough for 2 persons, if there are more guests - be ready to wait;
- window “view” to the hotel rooms nearby, be ready to use curtains;
- its not quiet at nights: you will hear some neighbors from upper floor (so neighbors downstairs will hear you) and you will hear music from nearby nightclubs. Also there is building renovation nearby: however they don’t work at night, but some construction noises during work hours.
Anyway, we liked our stay, Ayhan is great host.
