Very very strategic. Everything is close by and walking distance to Taksim Square. Everything is clean and cleaner was helpful to carry out luggage. However, there was a sewage smell in the toilet.. also take note if you have heavy luggage bags because there are no lift and you will need to take stairs. One suggestion to host to include instructions for the washing machine and dryer as it is in Turkish. We struggled abit to make it work by asking few residence there. Thanks!!
