Isik is a very welcoming and helpful host his apartment is very cozy, clean, neat and exactly how its described here. The street is quiet during the night and it has various close 24/7 mini markets and some restaurants located near as well, Its located less than 5 minutes from the central Taksim square (good transportation hub) and the famous Istiklal street with its variety of cozy street bars, pubs and clubs. Personally i would certainly stay here again, I would recommend this place for people who want to explore the city and stay in a cozy and affordable central apartment.
