the good place to stay for the long or short term even. near to Galata tower, just 5 minutes by walk. near to shishane metro station that makes it easy to use public transportation. the owner was so helpful and communicative as well. Near to the supermarket "SOK" (3 minutes by walk) that make you easy to buy some groceries. I would like to stay in her place again when I come back to Istanbul :) thanks a lot, Sadaf.
