I love the location, I used to live next building. This is a safe, quiet residential area which I prefer to Galata or Taksim. We had a rocky start. Unfortunately I never met Vivian. Check in was a bit problematic and due to her being out of town her responses were delayed. Our stay was comfortable. Her living room is very airy and bohemian style. The check out organization was also problematic. No instructions were left. I had to go back after we checked out to drop the keys off which was inconvenient.
