The apartment is clean, well-equipped, thoughtfully designed and for us, in an excellent location. We had stayed in Sultanahmet in the beginning of our 3 week road trip across Turkey and we wanted to explore a more authentic, residential side of Istanbul, but not too far (meaning walkable) from a few touristy sites too.
We thoroughly enjoyed the local neighborhood eateries, bakeries, the Sunday market (this was excellent!). We had some of our best meals in this area, from local hole in the walls to more upscale restos, it’s walking distance from here!
A few things to note — these are not issues with the property but more like personal considerations:
1. The unit is in the 5th floor, with no elevator. The host mentioned this in the listing so we have no complaints, but this can be a struggle so consider carefully
2. The unit itself is very comfortable for 2 people, but the bed is on the small side. Best check with host if a bigger bed is important to you
Overall, we would def recommend this place!
