This will a special place for me that I will keep coming back to. It depends on personality and preference - I LOVE being on the street, close to some action, walkers-by, but still, peaceful and safe. Especially for my cat, having something to look at out the window and safe place to roam a bit was so valuable.
I also love to stay between TomTom and Cihangir, so again, this was perfect for me.
It’s a wee place, well designed for it. Plenty of towels, extra warm blanket, and incredible heater (2), full stove and cooking capacity.
Yes, bathroom is down winding stairs and shower water drains in toilet space, but sandals are provided and I rarely found this a problem.
You have to be a bit creative with this space, where you put your suitcases/clothes, etc. It is exactly as advertised, and such a great value. After staying in over 15 Istanbul AirBnBs in last five years, this is a keeper for me.
