Pros:
1. Central location, few minutes from istikal st
2. High ceilings which is hard to find in istanbul
3. Authentic design.
Cons:
1. No aircon in august was a huge challenge. Pay attention.
2. The view from the terrace (aka roof) is true but you won't gonna go on that terrace.
3. The real view from the window is an old couple's terrace. Charming, but too close and personal.
4. According to a local acquaintance of mine the place is overpriced but that's a common issue for airbnb in many countries.
5. Last 5th or 6th floor, so be ready.
6. Flush doesn't work properly, i would say bathroom needs a renovation.
Untold:
The next door is the oldest trans bar in town, the biggest gay club is 10min away, gay sauna/brothel is 50m up to the hill, russian and/or trans hookers walking down on the street. That place isn't luxury or respectable or family friendly but probably it's the most authentic representation of old city's vibe.
