Great location and experience. We were surprised that the host allowed us to check in a bit earlier. For the next 7 days we enjoyed our stay in Istanbul and in this apartment. Some substantial benefits are that the apartment is ~3min away from Metro, and there are few good and affordable cafes within 20 meters. A tiny con is that the apartment is a bit dim, especially in the evening (having more light would make it feel better). Overall, great location, host, and value.
