The location is great, very close to Tophane Tram which makes it easy to move around. The neighbor is fun and close to every where without being too touristy. Kerem took very good care of us and was always ready to help even though he doesn’t speak English (thanks to translation apps!) The building is a bit old and the renovation is new yet basic so has a few of the issues of old buildings, like ventilation of toilet is not very good but overall for the competitive price it was ok.
The building has a rooftop with basic furniture which is great for watching the sunset. We didn’t cook much but kitchen is sufficiently equipped and washing machine works well.
The juice stall in front makes wonderful pomegranate juice and there’s a well stocked mini market also in front.
