Great value, great setup in a good & lively location.
The pros - close to the metro, close to lively bars & lots walkable. Bedrooms & bathrooms were fantastic. Kitchen was sparse but I don’t think most people cook with so many great restaurants nearby.
The cons - if this is your first trip to Istanbul, the touristy stuff is a hike. We finally took the metro (T1) train the last day & we’re kicking ourselves for not doing it sooner. Cabs are a nightmare - so much traffic & they gauge you as tourists.
There is no living room to hang out together in. That wasn’t a big deal for us as we barely hung at the apartment, but it could be disappointing for others.
Overall - amazing value, big spacious bedrooms & great location to experience Istanbul! Take the metro if you want to get across the river to the touristy stuff.
