Although communication with the host was well and smooth, had I known and had better understanding of the neighborhood, I would have chosen another location. This property located close to the Taksim and city center, however, this particular location is known to be unsafe, particularly for drug and alcohol related activities. Many taxi drivers warned us to be mindful and told us that even police does not want to get involved in this part of the town. Once you enter into the building lobby area, it is clean and well maintained. It is worth mentioning that this entry is the shared space building that has few other units for other guests. The particular unit is located in the top floor requiring to lift luggage to the upper floor. My honest review is that this property is clean and suitable once you enter into the building but outside does not match and reflect the safety of the inside. Next door and across buildings are not well maintained ruins.
