Candemir’s apartment is really clean, comfortable and stylish and because each bedroom has its own bathroom is perfect for a group of friends. It is in a great location near to Istiklal Caddesi and a few minutes walk from Sishane metro and the funicular (Tünel) down to to the tram stop on the Galata Bridge, if walking up and down the hill is too difficult.
There is noise from the street and bars in the first bedroom but this is to be expected in a city like Istanbul and not a problem during the night when the bars close. Rooms 101 and 103 are light and spacious and we used Room 101 as a sitting room when required. Room 102 is darker as its window looks out onto the internal space between neighbouring apartments but we were out most of the time so it was only used for sleeping in!
Candemir was very kind and helpful during our visit and we would certainly recommend staying in his apartment.
