We had a nice stay at this apartment for the month. The apartment is in an old building that has been renovated very well. It’s in a largely residential neighborhood fairly close to main attractions in Istanbul (Istiklal, Galata, etc). The host was very communicative and responsive throughout our stay which we appreciated. We had an issue with the water on the day we checked in, and the host was responsive and sent over some bottled water to make up for it, even though it was a city issue. The building does have 4 flights of stars and no lift, and the kitchen is pretty small. Overall, those were pretty minor things for us and we enjoyed and would recommend staying at this apartment again.
