Located fairly close to Istiklal / Beyoglu, this traditional apartment proved to be a decent stay for a fair price and no major issues.
The host was very kind and helpful, responsive and up for a chat, yet also respected privacy.
The bathroom might not be to everyone’s liking, since the shower is virtually not existing but merely a drain on the floor. The boiler didn’t maintain a consistent water temperature at all times either.
The apartment itself offered all amenities such as WiFi, fridge, heater, burners, towels, etc. The living room had a nice view and the sofa could also be used as an additional bed. It should be noted however that of the two bedrooms had no window of its own (looking outside).
All in all, the apartment is recommendable to anyone looking for an affordable yet spacious place. Public transit access is provided by a nearby bus station (2 mins walk).
