What a great choice that property was for our one-week stay in Istanbul. Our criteria were safety, location for main attractions (touristic and less touristic), public transportation convenience, noise level and other surrounding elements, and general amenities offered by the place.
EVERYTHING was PERFECT. Seriously.
A big shoutout to Hakan who welcomed us on arrival and who was also here to ensure our timely departure to the airport at 3am in the middle of the night. Thank you, Hakan.
We stayed in room 501, overlooking the street and the Galata Tower. Beautiful and scenic and yet, quiet at night. The room is spacious, the kitchen practical for basic stuff, the bed comfortable, the cupboards plenty for storage, the two chairs super comfy for some reading by the window, and the desk good enough for some work. Really ideal for a week stay.
The location is top notch, which is super important in Istanbul, as one or two blocks sometimes make a huge difference. The metro station is a 2-minute walk, making the airport transfer a breeze. It is 200 meters away from Galata Tower, from where you command all the possible sights you may want to visit over a week.
Will definitely recommend that place to any of my friends and would definitely come back to that same location if we were to visit Istanbul again.
