Great location (although important to say on a steep street, but that was fine for us) - close to tramlines, and main shopping street. Felt like a local, and always felt safe. Fatih took time to give us general info and answer questions, arranged good airport transfers too. The condition of the studio is fair, enough room for bags and fan supplied. Bathroom smelled really funny. But for the, location and Fatih's excellent hosting, don't go past this for your stay in Istanbul! Tip: there's a good cafe for traditional turkish breakfasts straight down the hill about 2 minutes' walk.
