The place is located close to Taksim. However, you would still have to walk uphill for around 10-15 mins to get to the main street. The apartment we got was on the fourth floor and we were not made aware of the same. It is only suitable for backpackers and people who are travelling solo and not for families. Don’t recommend it for people travelling with more than a backpack. The toilet was extremely small and had an awful smell. The only good thing about the house was that it had loads of windows. There was no personal interaction from the host’s side.
