I enjoyed my stay at Malik's place. The place is central to everything and it's value for money. The bus stop for airport buses Havabus and Havaist is just 5 minutes walk from the building. So getting from the airport (IST and SAW) to Malik's place is a breeze. Metro and Funicular station is also just a 5 minutes walk away. You can get to any place in the city by metro and funicular/tram. There are a lot of restaurants, cafes and shops around the building but they are quite expensive since that area is all high-end hotels. But there are a lot of cheap eats just 5 minutes away on Istiklal street. Wifi is fast and consistent. Getting up and down four floors can be challenging especially if you have a lot of luggage, but it didn't bother me at all. Malik was very friendly and he gave all the info I needed. If I ever go back to Istanbul, I will definitely stay again at Malik's place
