Fantastic place with a fantastic host, with some minor caveats that are out of host’s control.
We really loved the place. It is exactly as seen in the photos and right in the middle of Taksim (Ideal place for Istanbul experience in my opinion, and the center of all kinds of public transportation). You’re having the whole house. In addition to complete privacy, one of the things we’ve liked was it is a fully equipped house, not a minimalistic rental house. You’ll have all kinds of kitchen equipment, extra bed sheets, towels, washing machine, iron, clotheshorse etc. It feels like your own home in which you have access to everything you need. You could live there for months.
Host is easily accessible, is interested in providing you a satisfying Airbnb experience. He has my highest recommendation.
Caveats (that are out of host’s control) are, there are going to be steep stairs thus if you are having trouble climbing stairs that’s one thing to pay attention to. The neighborhood is a bit noisy, you may hear some music from outside late at night (I guess this is the curse of central locations). I would say if you can handle noise to the medium level this wouldn’t be an issue but if medium noise is something you can’t handle, that’s also something to consider.
