Cansu’s place was spacious and clean, except for the terrible smell in the toilets. The location is close to Taksim although you have to walk quite a long way in a very uphill street to reach it, not pleasant to do so in the summer. The alley where the house is located in is also uphill and has many stairs which if you have too heavy of luggage can be a problem. Cansu didn’t welcome us herself and the address that was given to us lacked the building number so we were lost a bit. At nights it was very difficult for me to sleep due to the many noises coming from outside, cats screaming, dogs barking, neighbors talking, etc. so if you’re looking for a calm place this is not it. The water was also cut for at least 5 hours ons night which was not ok.
