The flat is centrally located. It’s only minutes away from one of many shopping strips in the city. Access to food, shopping, hookah, clubs, etc. is within a walks distance. It’s about a 12-15 minute walk to catch a ferry to go to the Asian part of Ístanbul. It’s about a 10 minute walk to catch the tram to take you around the city or to go see the Hagia Sophia Mosque. The apartment is just like you see in the photos. It was tricky to figure out the heat, but we managed to figure it out and get the place to warm up. The bar across the street was a little loud, but it’s a city so the noise pollution is expected and nothing a light sleeper like me couldn’t handle after a day out exploring. Shower water pressure was great. We didn’t cook at all, but the flat only has two electric burners. I would stay here again in a heart beat! Thanks for the hospitality, Irem.
