We stayed in this studio for 5 nights, after we had already been in Istanbul for about a week. Great location—basically next to the Tünel and the Şişhane metro entrance, a minute or two walk to Istiklal street. Everything in the studio was as described. The room gets great sun, and is very quiet (especially when you consider how convenient its location is). Furnished with everything you would need.

Fatih was a helpful host. He met us at a familiar location to walk us to and showed us the places around the studio. He also made sure we had everything we needed and answered any questions during check-in. Plus, he sent us a good list of food recommendations, and made a reservation for us at his favorite meyhane.

Some quirky things:
- the water heater seems to quickly go through its hot water reserve before needing some time to heat back up. Just something to keep in mind before you take your first shower, if you don't want to have to finish with only cold water in the winter :)
- the shower area has 2 windows in it that leads into the main room. They're about head-level for my friend and I. Wasn't an issue or anything in terms of compromising your privacy but you could peak in/out if you wanted/are taller?
- the bathroom door handle was loose, so it didn't close completely, but the door stayed pulled-to, so it was okay

I'd definitely stay here again. The size of the studio is perfect, and it coming back to it at night after a full day of Istanbul's hustle actually felt like home.
