The place is excellently located - about 6-7 min walk to Taksim Square (but it's an uphill walk!). The bed was VERY comfortable and the neighborhood was nice. The people around were very friends (not sure how much English they know though, since I communicated in the basic Turkish I know) but everyone was fairly helpful and nice. Was quiet for the most part, but it got really hot at night time - the ventilation was close to none even with the windows open because of the proximity. All in all, it was a nice place for the purpose I got it. I just needed a room to spend the nights.
