Perfect location if you want to stay in Taksim. Very very close to the Main Street and shops are 2mins walk. More like a hotel room- will recommend for 2 people. Emrah was very helpful and gave us good recommendations. Ali who I believe is the security guard was very helpful and is such a lovely guy! Something for those who are afraid of cats is that they have a few (cute) cats inside the building. There is a lovely terrace at the top too! Overall we enjoyed our first stay in Istanbul and this is definitely a perfect location close to amenities, shops, cafes and bus stops.
