We rented this flat for 9 days in Istanbul. It’s in an old building that was recently redone, on the bottom of the hill a couple of streets away from a main street. There was a shop where we could buy what we needed a very short distance from the main street. On the main street we could find any food or coffee you could need. The flat had everything we needed for our stay. Nice touches from the host. Nice nook to sit and have breakfast and people watch. Nice breeze from opening the windows. Has AC but we never used it. We could cook something if we wanted. All the basic staples for cooking were provided as well as snacks and tea/coffee for a few days. We were able to wash some clothes. We felt safe at night. Small fridge worked well. The place was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Nice comfy sofa and plenty of places to sit. Nice balcony to enjoy the morning.
