Advantages:
- Easy check-in was very helpful for our late-night arrival.
- Cozy, bright and clean apartment.
- All daily essentials were already in place (e.g., cutlery, tableware, clean bedsheets, soap, toilet paper, electric appliances, etc.)
- Promenade embankment is right across the road.
- Pharmacy and alcohol store are in the building, supermarket is behind the building, nice panoramic cafe on the 4th floor, authentic local eateries are nearby, Starbucks is in the nearby hotel lobby.
- Bus stop is right in front of the building.
- Aylin is very responsive host, she’s always ready to help and answer your questions.
Little flaws:
- Electric stove takes a lot of time to heat up (but anyway we were too lazy to cook).
- Common problems of the old Istanbul: (1) cold water in the kitchen and in the washbasin (but there is a hot shower - don’t worry), (2) weak power grid (you should not turn on all the electric appliances at once).
Overall, It was a great place to stay! Thanks!
