We stayed 1 week at Batuhan’s appartement. It is really 2 minutes from Taksim (shops, kebabs, metro, bus…) however, neighborhood itself a little terrifying (dark side of Taksim) and a hill to « climb » with our bagages was a challenge.
The communication with Host was perfect, he even proposed us to take a tea with him.
Appartement itself is small but it is enough for passing only the nights in. It’s not very clean (cockroaches, I freaked out in the morning!), and bit old. You also have to wait for hot water at least 1 minute each time.
After all, it is not at all expensive, for its emplacement.
