The place is exactly like in the pictures and the hosts are wonderful! location wise, it's a short walk to istiklal street, it's in the middle of a hub of cafes and stores. we had no issues with the place being right next to a mosque. the fact that the neighbourhood's footpaths aren't pram friendly was a bit of a challenge, but solvable if you have someone to lift the front of the pram in difficult areas. it's not too noisy despite being in a busy area. the place has a small elevator, convenient if you have lots of luggage like us. the place is divided into two floors. the first floor is the lounge, a small toilet and the kitchen. the kitchen is quite spacious with lots of cutlery. could probably have more basic spices etc. the lounge is v comfy with a balcony. big TV. the upper floor is accessible through a flight of about ten stairs. you have one large bedroom, one medium and one small bedroom, and also one large bathroom with shower. beds were comfy. there's a washing machine and iron upstairs too. on the first day there was a horrible smell from the upstairs washroom...don't think it was because of a cleanliness issue...but it disappeared in a few hours and didn't come back for the few days we were there. on our last day the upstairs bathroom developed a leak...not sure where the leak was from exactly but it caused water to seep from the floor below to the downstairs bathroom ceiling. looking at the stain on the ceiling, i think the leak was a frequent issue. however, both washrooms were very clean. the place was very cozy and spacious though could do with some renovation soon, especially the walls, paint, ceilings etc. Overall very good value for money and would come back again.
