The hosts are extremely nice. The place is off the highway so don't expect a quiet stay. Alot of honks at night and if you are a light sleeper then maybe avoid. The hosts helped us with the luggage and gave us plenty of extra time to checkout. The TV did not work but the wifi was ok.
It's close to istiklal street. I would recommend to roam around local streets and enjoy local food and avoid eating at sultan Ahmet area as that is not authentic.
Overall the location is not bad if you like to walk. Opposite the double road the area is a bit sketchy but nothing to worry about as the streets are always busy.
Great shower and comfortable beds.
