Great location, great hospitality and really comfortable, homely flat. It's tucked away in a cosy corner of a really lovely alley in a quiet neighbourhood based around the backstreets of taksim. Completely safe and so close to the main centres (istiklal street, taksim square, karaköy, tophane). It's literally just a few streets away from the hustle and bustle of Istiklal street yet it feels so much more quiet and tranquil. I stayed here for four nights and really enjoyed my time here, it was so clean and tidy and felt like home. Pelin is a great, friendly host and was willing to assist with anything from laundry to travel tips.
