The place was nice and clean — it was equipped with most things we needed. The washroom did have a funky smell coming from the window.
We had to bring luggages up 6 floors when we arrived. There is someone who can help (only between certain hours), so be sure to let the host know. Regardless, it would have been ideal to know this information before booking.
The location was close to Taksim Square and accessible to many shops, restaurants and entertainment. If it’s your first time is Istanbul be wary of all the uphill walking you have to do. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and Mert was good at communicating at all times.
