This is an excellent property to stay at in Istanbul. It is more of a B&B or pension hotel than apartment. It is great for one or two people. It was spacious enough; didn't feel too claustrophobic, like some small hotel rooms in Europe.

The location is great. It is very convenient to Taksim Square. Be advised that it is on a fairly steep hill, so this could be problematic for anyone who has problems walking or other similar disabilities. There is an elevator in the building itself, so that was fine.

The room and bathroom were both very clean. Having daily cleaning is an added bonus! There is a small refrigerator and a small stovetop, although I didn't use that. The room was well lit, which was nice.

I spoke with Oytun as well as one of the other workers at the front desk. They were both helpful in answering questions and providing directions. Their English was good.

This is definitely a great place to stay if you need a place in Istanbul.
