(Duplicate entry as I stayed two night, but due to billing, it was booked as two separate bookings). The area is very convenient. It's literally a ten minute walk from where the airport bus drops you in Taksim Square. Then the location is a five minute walk to Taksim Square, which is close to the metro. And it's also very close to Istikal Caddesi, a huge shopping and food street. The wifi in the room worked well. The room was exactly what I needed. A decent place to sleep and shower.
