This flat is a great location for anyone who wants to be centrally located with access to Galata, the Istiklal shopping area, and countless bars and restaurants. Because it is located in the thick of it be aware of noise levels, which could be a bit loud particularly on the weekends into the early morning. Depends on your preference, as again it is a great location.
The flat was very clean and exactly as pictured. Great size. The mattress is very, very, soft, not firm and I believe a spring mattress. For me and my travel mate, not the most comfortable as the mattress dips in the middle due to its softness.
Taylab the host is responsive and very kind and also helped us to make restaurant reservations. He also helped immediately us retrieve the cash we left in the flat after we checked out which was greatly appreciated. He was definitely available for any questions or concerns during our stay. Overall a great stay despite the noise and mattress which should be considered.
