Great place with a nice elevated view on a part of Istanbul. The pictures are accurate. It is in a popular neighborhood next to Taksim Square, with a lot of restaurants and shops around. Keep in mind that the owner, at least when I was there, had some of his belongings there. Plenty of space left for your own belongings in my opinion, but I know some people expect airbnb to be like an empty apartment. In this case it is not.
