Great location to explore taksim and just a stone's throw from Istiklal st with many cafes, restaurants, retailers and even antique shops nearby. Mahsa was also friendly and available to help or answer questions during our stay.
As for the place itself, it was okay. It was quite old and was very dark but had basic things like pots, pans, bed and wardrobe. The balcony was the best part of this room. On the other hand, some more attention to detail couldve been done on carpets, some surfaces, and the shower room. The toilet is in the middle of the room, slightly blocking entrance to shower (you have to maneuver around it). Fan in the bathroom was very dusty and the bathroom smelled like mold.
Overall still recommend for a short stay and thank you to Mansa for her hospitality.
