First of all, aysegul is a great host and always offer helps. My stay overall was good at her place. She speaks English to the extent that you can get your point across, so that was good.
Let me pen down the pros and cons of the place:
Pros:
Close to sishane metro station
Central location near galata/taksim
Grocery stores nearby around 400m
Good host!
Cons:
-Its on the 4th floor with no lift, so you have to carry your baggage all the way yourself to the 4th floor
- House has a smell, probably because of the cats.
- The area outside is very noisy at night as there's a bar downstairs and drunk people make a lot of noise
Overall, if you're someone looking for a budget stay, this is a good place with some pros and a few cons!
