Everything was great. Host is so helpful and kind. We had a great time in Istanbul specially in Taksim area because it was walking distance! You have access to everything here and definitely don’t recommend to come with a car because streets are narrow and no room to park. Public parking is close though! $45 lire per day. Overall I would definitely rent this place again because we were really comfortable. The bedroom is at the back and you can’t here the street noise, it has a blackout curtain too! I have a baby and although it was on third floor, it was not hard for me because there was room downstairs to fold and keep her stroller. Check in and check out were so smooth. They also helped us with taking our stuff upstairs.
