Stayed for a month. Good location, close to Istiklal, the main shopping street and bar area. Bus stations are very close, Taksim and Shishane metro walkable in ~12 minutes. The room's windows are right next to a busy street, so it can be noisy, as said in the description. They offer earplugs. I slept with closed windows and earplugs and had no problem sleeping. Big and comfortable bed. There is a washing machine and kitchen. Though there's only very basic kitchen utensils. Probably enough if you're making an easy meal for yourself. For me it was enough, but for bigger cooking and more people it won't be enough. Flat was cleaned once a week in the afternoon. The host was very responsive, can message him on WA at almost any time of day and get a timely reply. Also he was very helpful whenever there was an issue and eager to come by and fix it asap. For Istanbul the price was quite high, guess because of central location and tourist pricing.
