Location of the apartment is amazing! Right in the centre of the cool neighbourhood with many cafes, restaurants, 24/7 shops and supermarket at a stone's throw. The place itself is nice, with a bohemian vibe. I really love living in old buildings - so I was super-charmed. At the same time, it has a convenient bathroom and a kitchen. This place is good if you want to explore Istanbul, eat out etc. If you plan on staying at home for most of the time and rely heavily on self-made meals maybe chose sth else. But as a tourist I totally loved the place and would definitely reccomend staying there. Communication with Pelin is fantastic, quick and v. informative. Place is super clean. But yes, you have to go up to the 3rd floor in the narrow staircase. Which was not a problem for us. If you like old houses and atmospheric places you have to be ready for that.
