Smooth check-in process and location was safe and and close to taksim square. It is located in a steep street like most houses in this area so you need to be a bit athletic to comfortably walk back and forth to the square (I knew that and was okay with it). There is a supermarket and a fruit shop on the same street.
Building has an elevator so it’s convenient for heavy luggage.
Murat was super helpful in his communication and in answering any questions or solving issues.
Apartment had snacks as a welcome and had all needed kitchen and cleaning tools.
There is an AC in the living room (I didn’t try it).
You can hear the neighbors but it wasn’t an issue as they were not loud and the street is generally quiet.
Overall it was a comfortable and pleasant stay. I would recommend if you’re okay with the steep street and stairs.
