Yasin is a wonderful host. I spent eight days at his house, and he made sure that check-in and check-out went without a hitch.
Istiklal Street and Taksim Square can be reached in about five minutes, making the location ideal. The apartment is on the second floor; the stairs are easy to climb, and Yasin was gracious enough to assist us with the bag. I will most certainly stay here the next time I visit Istanbul. Everything is worth it for the convenience.
