The location is truly amazing: it is right in the centre of historical area, walking distance to plenty of sights, cafes, restaurants and shops.
The interior is very well thought of and pleasant.
The receptionist is very nice and attentive, and you can get a cup of black coffee in the morning.
Rooftop terrace and outside area are very cute and can imagine myself spending a lot of time there in the summer months.
The host responds very quickly and gives very clear directions
However, there were couple of issues you should prepare yourself for if you plan on staying there
- It's an old building so the stairs are loud and the walls and windows don't block all the noise, so if you're lucky enough not to get noisy neighbours or to be a very heavy sleeper, you'll still be woken up in the morning by the uncountable Istanbul cats (and sometimes teenagers)
- The bathroom door does not give much privacy. It's a sliding door and the bottom is not attached to anything so it tends to rock a little upon touch and does not fully "seal" the bathroom
- There's very very little storage space. There's not enough room to live "out of your suitcase" but there's also not much space to store clothes and personal items if there's more than one person staying there
Not so much of an issue but a warning: if you have a heavy suitcase and planning on going back by metro (which is indeed very near), prepare to drag it up a very very steep hill.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
