Our stay at Isik's studio was excellent. We missed our connecting flight to Istanbul and arrived in Taksim very late, but Isik was very communicative and still met us at the bus stop despite our late arrival. He welcomed us with a quick tour of the neighborhood, and then of the studio. He was quick to respond if we had questions during our stay. The studio is in a great location, just steps from Taksim Square, Istikal street, and an abundance of restaurants and shops. One thing to note is that it's on the fourth floor and there is no elevator. This was not a problem at all for us, but if you have any mobility issues then definitely take this into consideration. Overall, we were quite pleased with our decision to stay at Isik's studio.
