    We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

I sat at the reception, we drank coffee and had nice conversations. Location is in the best part of Istanbul walking distance to all tourist attractions The restaurant, market and store around it were selling at very cheap prices. In the rooms, air conditioning, refrigerator, television, everything worked very well. Good quality, great place, thank you.

Can't ask for more.
