“What strikes me most is its Sirkeci location, right in Istanbul's shopping heart, and still an easy walk to major historical sites. I like the idea of a renovated apartment with kitchen facilities, offering both independence and a bit of modern comfort, plus soundproofing is a real advantage in such a busy area. From what I gather, it seems a particularly good base for families wanting to explore the city at their own pace.”
