If you like more of an antique apartment/local experience then this might be for you. Bed linens and floor seemed clean. But, the kitchen cabinet drawers and the switch/cord for the lamp are really filthy. Second floor wall up, close proximity to the famous Taksim square. Around the corner from a nice hotel if you ever need to go get a taxi it’s easy. Host was very clear with check-in and that was appreciated. The A/C is very weak and constantly changes the setting on it’s own. Quiet building and overall it was an okay experience. Not many complaints- good value.
