We loved our stay there. This place felt like home from the very beginning. It is pretty much helped by the fact that there are little things that add unique character to the house and make it feel a little bit more like (a very stylish and well decorated - but) home. Like the blackboards on the fridge that you can write on or paintings / photos on the walls. It also has everything you need for a stay there, such as kitchen utensils and cleaning supplies. The location is great too. It's in a walking distance from Taksim and Galata tower, and there are many cool shops and cafes nearby, not to mention all those cute cats living in the neighborhood (10/10, would pet again). Zeyno is an excellent host. We haven't actually met her but she always answered our messages and helped us to sort out some everyday issues like getting a medical test in the hospital. She also recommended apps for ordering food and good restaurants in the neighborhood and was flexible with check-in and check-out times. We are very thankful for our time there and would love to return.
