Absolutely great location. Very convenient to all kinds of public transportation and fun restaurants on the Asian side of Istanbul. The hosts are very welcoming and the place is stylish and very clean. The only con is the street noise in the front room from bars and heavy late night foot traffic - my ear plugs were very helpful. But the location is very safe, I was coming in and out of the apartment at all times of the day and night, without a problem. I would consider staying again the next time I'm in the area.
