This place was awesome. The location cannot be beat. Right off a street full of artists, craftsmen, and delicious vegan restaurants. Its also just around the corner from Galata Tower and Shishane subway station, and a 15 minute walk to Taksim square. Our favorite place to hang out was just down the hill, a 10 minute walk to Karakoy, a waterfront area with bars, restaurants and the BEST Turkish bath in the city, Kilic Ali Pasa Hamam. The check in was very easy, and the room and building were very secure. Definitely stay here if you find yourself in Istanbul!
