Design Loft Pera 1 was a delight to stay in. Tucked away in a quieter street, yet about a 5 minute walk from a main street of shopping and food that leads right into Taksim Square. The room was small but fit 3 of us comfortably. It is very clean and had everything we could need. There are also two small markets right around the corner where you can get all the essentials. We never got to meet Aylin, but she was very helpful - always quick to answer our questions and calls. Would definitely stay here again!
