The property is very centrally located, just a minutes' walk to the main shopping street, a host of bars, restaurants and cafes, and close to Taksim Square. The price was good value for the accommodation, the room was clean and the cleaning lady very friendly and accommodating in arranging cleaning times. The area is quiet at night, although the stairs may be slightly noisy for those on the lower floors. Altogether I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend to others taking a short visit to Istanbul. Alexandra is also a very friendly and professional host, which many will appreciate. Thanks for your hospitality!
