Unbelievably amazing experience. The host, Jan, was incredibly accommodating and such a great communicator. I absolutely loved the location and had stayed at this home during my last visit to Istanbul. Quiet street during the evening and moderate action during the day. Close enough to Taksim to walk and enjoy the liveliness but far enough away where you get peace and quiet when it’s time to sleep. 2-3 minute walk to train that takes you all over and 5-7 minute walk to Galataport which is a must see!
