My boyfriend and I stayed at Pelin's for four nights recently and it was a very positive experience. Her directions were clear making it quite easy to find from Taksim (only a short walk away). Her partner Korça met us and made us feel welcome to contact them if anything should arise, which there was no need. They also checked in a couple times to make sure we were ok which we appreciated.

The neighbourhood was so lovely!! It's in a perfect location, we were able to walk to pretty much everywhere we wanted to visit. It reminded me somewhat of the Plateau neighbourhood in Montreal: lots of cafes and bars, tons of cheap food options and a young population. Overall we were very pleased with everything and would definitely recommend it to others who want a comfortable and clean budget option.
