We've stayed here for 2 weeks and we absolutely loved it. The vibe of this place is incredible! Comfortable, peaceful, quiet and lovely decorated. The location is great. It is, indeed, about 5-10 minutes away from Istiklal Street and the streets leading to the main means of transport are ok, meaning that the area isn't very hilly (an aspect that I had to take into consideration given the fact that I'm not athletic at all, haha). The host was very helpful and always responsive. It truly felt like home! We totally recommend it.
