The check-in went wonderfully. The room itself was tidy and they had everything we needed. It is like a little hotel with a front desk. I had thought it was a private apartment in an apartment building, based on the description, but you're renting a room in an "apart hotel" type of arrangement. The sheets were pretty damp when we checked-in, so the first night felt a little wet and cold. Water ran out of the back of the toilet onto the shower floor when we flushed it, and I'm not sure if it was leaking from the top of the tank or the pipes going to the sewer lines, but sometimes the water was brown. Other than that, it was a positive stay. The location was amazing. It was less than a 10 minute walk from pretty much everywhere in Taksim that we wanted to go. It was not too loud at night, because it is in a little alley away from the bars, but it is a very short walk to nightlife. I recommend it for people who are staying for only a couple days in Taksim and care mostly about the location.
