Casa di Bava was recommended to me by a colleague and i would also recommend this hotel to anyone. We stayed in 2 apartments during our visit, the smallest - apartment 2 - is on the ground floor with windows to the street. perfectly fine for 2 people for a few nights. only downside for me was lack of second bedside table as bedroom is too small to fit more than 1. We extended our stay as we were having such a great time in Istanbul and moved to a larger apartment, of which there are several. Apartment 8 had much bigger bedroom, living room, balcony and kitchen is separate. had a dishwasher and larger fridge. the street is lively and interesting to watch, and the double glazed windows ensure it is quiet enough at night to sleep easily. the bed was super comfortable, the linen is excellent and all in all we had a very comfortable stay. the manager - Tamam - was lovely, super helpful and accommodating. His english is excellent and he is very responsive through whatsapp. the location is also terrific, we were spoilt for choice of places to eat - all delicious and cheap. Norre is next door practically and has beautiful food for breakfast/lunch too. we would 100% book Casa di Bava again!
