Farzin was a wonderful host! Accommodating every need and very responsive. The place is good value for money and matches the pictures. I was preoccupied about the safety in the area at first, because it is located on the less secure side of Taksim, but the truth is that the apartment is so close to Taksim square that you barely have to walk a few minutes to get to home and I never felt frightened by anything on my way. Definitely recommended to those looking for a simple, conveniently located place to stay while on a budget!
