The room was clean, check in was easy and the host was communicative and friendly. However, I am sorry to say that I would not stay here again because the place is right by one of the main roads next to Taksim and the windows are not even double glazed. The bed is right next to the windows and you can hear every voice and every footstep in the smaller street, as well as the constant stream of cars using the main road, which means constant honking. I only stayed one night in order to rest after a long flight, and I am sorry to say that even with earplugs and sound cancelling headphones, I was unable to sleep more than 30 minutes...
