Mr Erhan is truly the best host , that I met in Airbnb , and I lived in many Airbnb houses. He gives you very accurate details how to get to his house , after that he sends you all info how to get around in Istanbul . Very reliable person. House is cozy and spacious. Last floor , so it has a great view. Unfortunately there is an old burned building that needs to be demolished , makes view little worse. Also there was a little hole in corner of a room , with small ants , that were coming out of it if you leave trash for a day, that was little disappointing . Location is great , Istiklal st, Taksim, Galata tower are very close . Transportation , metro and bus stop are 5-8 min away , bosfor transfer 20 min away with tram. And important thing , location is really safe and bright in night times. No street parking obviously , if this information is important. Overall , great apartments to stay closer to most important Istanbul locations
