The spot is not far from the lively Istiklal St. The neighborhood is rather quite, and a bit dark at night, but me and my friend never felt unsafe there. My room was spacious and clean. There were no keys for the room, but the apartment itself felt secure. The bathroom was clean, albeit a little narrow. Barely ever saw other guests in the house, though we were out most of the time. Overall, a recommended AirBnB experience for a budget traveler. TIP: don't use the dryer function of the washing machine, we did and Emre wasn't happy about it :(
