Tastefully decorated house in Old city - Rose: 95 m² home

The property stands at Toptancı Sokak No:20 in Istanbul, postcode 34087. Measured in a straight line, Pammakaristos Church is about 0.4 km away, Chora Church about 0.5 km and the Mihrimah Edirnekapı Mosque about 0.8 km. The Süleymaniye Mosque is about 2.4 km, and Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque are each about 4 km. Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 30.5 km away, in a straight line.

These are straight-line distances, so routes on the ground run longer than the figures. The nearest measures, Pammakaristos Church at about 0.4 km, Chora Church at about 0.5 km and the Mihrimah Edirnekapı Mosque at about 0.8 km, are the useful ones for judging how close the property sits to its immediate surroundings; Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, each about 4 km, are the farthest of the city landmarks measured.

There is no menu of rooms at this property. The whole of it is one unit, the Vacation Home: 95 m² with three double beds. The choice a traveller makes is therefore not which room to take but whether this one space fits the party, because no smaller or larger alternative exists.

Three double beds across 95 m² point to a shared stay. A family with children, or a group of friends dividing the beds between them, has room to spread out; children are allowed, and the property's family rooms say the same thing in another way. A couple travelling alone would find the space generous but the bed count more than they need, and there is no single-double room here to choose instead.

For three couples the beds divide evenly; for a smaller party the third bed goes spare. Either way, the arithmetic of who sleeps where is the main planning decision, because the bed count is fixed at three and the space at 95 m².

Free parking matters most to anyone arriving by car, and it is the property's own facility. The airport shuttle is the counterpart for anyone flying into Istanbul Airport, about 30.5 km away in a straight line; it is a paid service. Between them, the two cover the main ways of reaching the property.

The property is an apartment building rather than a hotel with a range of rooms, and its rules are short: the check-in and check-out times, free parking, a paid airport shuttle and children being allowed are what govern a stay.

• Check-in is from 14:00; check-out is until 10:00.
• Parking at the property is free.
• The airport shuttle is a paid service.
• Children are allowed.

This is an apartment building offering one 95 m² home, and that shape decides its audience. It suits a family with children: children are allowed, the beds are three doubles and the space is 95 m². It suits a group of friends willing to share a single unit. And it suits two kinds of arrival, anyone driving because parking is free, and anyone flying because a paid airport shuttle exists.

It fits a couple less well, not because the space is lacking but because the only unit is built for several people: three double beds is the bed count, and there is no smaller room to choose instead. A traveller who wants a choice of room types, or a stay built around one double room, will not find that shape here.
