The place is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood next to nice cafes and a tram stop. Taksim is 10-15 min walk uphill. Even though the house is old, it is nicely renovated, neat and clean inside. The host made sure we had everything we needed (towels, bed linen, toiletries, fans, extra keys, kitchen utensils, even a coffee pot). We definitely had a great time.
