This is a nice and clean place to stay. You are only a walking distance from Istiklal street, and even the metro station (Shishane) is almost opposite the building. And also, walking to Galata Tower is dead easy. This is a perfect place to stay. The only issue we found is that you have to climb over 80 steep stair steps to get to the flat. Although the aircon did not work we just did not bother but I am sure it will be fixed as I suggested to the host. Also, as you walk towards the end of the kitchen ceiling gets lower, and if you are 5'6" you have to duck down to go to the balcony. Nice to sit on the balcony although not much to see. The bed wasn't really comfortable. One side of the mattress is a bit sunk.
