Zehra’s place was incredible. It was absolutely the best location I can think of (easy walk to so many historic sites, public transportation, cafes, ocean, etc.), and also beautifully designed and furnished, with outstanding views. Keep in mind that the location is in the middle of the city— it is loud, has graffiti (out on the street— not inside), and though the walks to points of interest are short in my opinion, it is best if you are in a healthy physical condition when you book this place so that you can easily walk up the hill to the metro (Istanbul is a very hilly city) and up and down the 4 stories to get to the apartment. If you are in healthy physical condition, I can’t recommend this place enough. My partner and I both admitted that we wish we lived here! :)
