Great host, great communication skills, he explains everything and anytime you need something Mr. Isik and his brother will be there, which is great. The location of the house is near Taksim square, 3-4 minute walk with 24/7 supermarkets and restaurants. The area changed a lot in recent years, lots of new middle eastern restaurants, hotels and establishments opened. The house is an old and skinny building, in a relatively quiet street, with wooden floors and stairs and railway style apartments. There is a large living room with a kitchen upfront looking at the street, and a small bedroom and a bathroom in the back. The kitchen is a bit outdated, but everything works. The TV is a good size with lots of channels. Just a side note, because of wooden walls, you may hear neighbors talking at night, which did not bother me much. My only complaint is the lack of fresh air in the bedroom, and needs a better internet. Other than that, if you like the Taksim area its very convenient place and the hosts are great.
