Munir's place at Taksim is the best I've ever stayed with Airbnb. Super clean and tide, everything well organized, modern and well designed furnitures and home decor. The shower is really good too! And the location. I would say staying in Taksim is way more convient than the old town. There are a lot of nice cafes in this area, from chain coffee like starbucks to local Turkish desserts stores. It's within 10 min walk to airport shuttles, ferry from Kabatas, and tram stations. Highly recommended!!!
