This place is located in very nice and central location near Taksim , it is in nice part of Taksim , I have travelled to Istanbul a few times , so I know this is a good, safe and liveable area , most of residents in this neighbourhood are family-oriented people .
The place is spacious compared with most other accommodations list in Airbnb at this price , I saw some picky guests complaining about the place and cleanness, you get what you paid for ! I personally think it is very value for money option .
Like many guest mentioned , I did have a bit problem on the noise on bedroom side at first few days , the vendor next to bedroom side needs to set up shop around 6am everyday, but I got used to it after a few days stay, the window is double glazed , it helps a bit anyway. Again , I don’t think it is deal breaker for me to book it again if I want accommodation .
The bathroom is clean , I can see host had done proper cleaning before my check in , again , this is not 5 star hotel , if you are looking for luxury and sparkling shiny bathroom , this is not for you . For a standard family apartment, the bathroom function very well and reasonably clean .
The check-in is very smooth , the host arrange his son greeted me and hand over the key ; and they are always helpful if you need any information , so the communication is spotless.
