The studio room was perfect for a few nights stay. It looked quite new and the building was great with elevator (for my heavy luggage) just the front entry door has a few steps. The location is ideal five mins walking across the main road to the back streets of istiklal and galatasary station with all the shops cafes bars pubs restaurants. Taksim is 10 min walk. On the road itself there’s a sok supermarket and bakery etc and a lovely little spot on the corner meshur pilavasi (rice). Aside from the location Ekin was very responsive I asked for a lamp and extra mug it was delivered next day. I don’t think there was anything lacking, a few extra utensil items in the kitchen perhaps which I communicated to host already however perfectly acceptable. Great shower hot water nice and warm and also ac available. Bed etc was comfortable! Highly recommended if you want to stay close to taksim galata without being in the middle of all the rush.
