this house is very cool and cozy place. It is placed in the middle of taksim street but little side of the main street so you may have a good rest. You may find a bakery and grocery stores near to the house. The bus station and subway station is also near. The host, Mehmet, is very nice, kind and wonderful man. We could spend very nice time based on his kindness and nice house. If you have a handicap to go up stairs, I would not recommend this house. Except this, everything is good and perfect. If you want to spend wonderful time in Istanbul, I strongly recommend this house. I thank so much Mehmed and the house 😀
