The host was nice, friendly, and quick to reply.
The flat itself was adequate. It’s pretty small but efficient and newly reconstructed. The apartment was nicely cleaned before our arrival. All the essentials were available.
It’s close to Taksim square, but there is a VERY steep uphill which is quite challenging to go through with suitcases. The street was a little bit of shock l. It’s noisy, smelly and not very clean. However, it's less than 15 minutes walk to the square, which is a plus. There are several shops closeby. You can find a bakery and several restaurants within 10 minute's radius.
If you need to be close to Taksim, I recommend staying at this apartment.
