My family and I stayed at the flat for 18 nights and are glad we chose the location. Garen's one room flat is cosy and clean. We never had any problem there and he was always prompt in replying our messages when we texted him.

The flat is located just a few minutes from Istiklal Cadessi which is a very lively place. It is about 10 minutes walk (depending on how fast you walk) to the Taksim metro station (near Taksim Square) which made it very convenient for us. It is very accessible too as we could take the funicular and tram from there to get to the places we wanted to go in Istanbul like Ayasofya, The Grand Bazaar, Istanbul Modern and many more. There is also a bus station nearby.

Apart from that, because the streets nearby are always buzzing with activities, we never felt isolated. We also felt safe when we were there. It was also very easy for us to get good food (at reasonably price), grocery and meat.

Overall we have a fond memory staying at the flat and would recommend it to those who are looking for an accessible place and love to stay somewhere that's buzzing with activities. There are just so much to soak in in the area.
