In general we liked staying at Alexander’s place - guys helped with all the necessary things we asked for, the district is colourful and gives you some true Istanbul spirit , close to metro station and to the downtown. Shower is perfect!! (water is constantly hot and the pressure is strong), the bed is great as well, so as the nice bay window and the style of apartment itself. As cons id rather note the absence of even a small cabinet or wardrobe to store clothes and documents, cold corners especially behind the armchair, and the washing machine in the other building.
However even with these things I’d recommend staying there if you really eager and dream to see a true old Istanbul and live in such a unique environment, it was unforgettable!
