My partner and I stayed here for 2 weeks.
The host was very communicative and check-in was easy.
In the room, I liked the kitchen table. There is a wall outlet nearby and I used this as my laptop workstation during our desk. There was still enough space to use as a kitchen table. The couch is also large enough to hold a couple of backpacks and groceries. The bathroom is good and the shower has good water pressure. I wish the bed was a double instead of the pushed together single beds though. It separated all the time no matter what we did. Also, the washers and dryers were usually taken almost every time we checked, so we had to do laundry very late into the night which was not ideal. Overall, the place itself was tolerable and at least meets your basic needs.
The area outside is okay. Probably the best thing is the prices were the cheapest in this area. There are 2-3 restaurants within a 6-minute walk worth trying, but the staff may not speak good English. They have the highest reviews on GMaps when you search. The restaurants near the major street are not worth it, you have to look for hole-in-the-wall spots. Nevada coffee nearby also has good Western-style coffee. Once you start walking 20-minutes East near the Blue Mosque you will find much better food options. You can also take the nearby metro (5 min walk) into Taksim to the North where you'll eat more European-style food. The area in Taksim is also noticably nicer. Options nearby are limited though.
I suggest taking buses or the metro any time you can. Taxis don't like to use the meter and will tell you really high rates. "Uber" is just taxis and even though they'll suggest a rate in the app the taxis will always ask "where to?" and try to charge you 6x what the price should be. Or they'll just cancel outright when you tell them. Good luck!
