Good location, 15 min walk to osmanbey and taksim metro stations that will connect you to anywhere in Istanbul through public transit. Clean house with a basic kitchenette. A general store with all basic item is situated right outside the building front door. Internet was subpar earlier on, but the host upgraded it during our stay and it was great afterwards. The building is in an older neighbourhood, however that’s typical of buildings close to Taksim area, modern buildings are generally located far from the touristy parts of town. The walk to the main road is on a bit of a hill, no big deal for the average person, but something to consider for the elderly. The host is easy going, responsive and willing to help. The Airconditioning worked great. There is a reasonably priced basic fitness centre under 10 mins walk away. Overall, we had a positive experience staying here and would rent again if we were staying on the european side of Istanbul.
