This is a spacious, comfortable flat in a quiet side street, quite close to the centre of town (eg. about 25 mins walk to Taxsim Sq). It is very well equipped and the host stays downstairs and is very helpful and welcoming. My bedroom did not have a wardrobe or cupboard, but there was enough space for my things in the room. There's a nice little enclosed balcony (loggia) that comes off the two bedrooms which are at the back of the house. The sitting room is very large and there's a small dining room next to the kitchen.

As far as I can tell, the area is a safe one, and there are plenty of shops, such as supermarkets and fruit and vegetable shops within a couple of minutes' walk.
