I loved Ceyhan’s place. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, pretty close to Taksim Meydani and the Taksim Metro station. The place was clean, equipped with all necessary requirements for your stay. Ceyhan was a very kind host as well, I did not have a phone number when I arrived, and gave his contact to food delivery service mistakenly without checking with him first. He was super cool about it.
HOWEVER, a big however, the place is very steeply downhill if you were to go to Taksim. So every time you want to go there, it’s a long uphill walk and it’s not 5 minutes as advertised. I doubt if it is 5 minutes for anyone. For someone who has accessibility issues or is out of shape or isn’t used to/doesn’t want to engage in a mini workout first thing in morning or everytime they step out, I will not recommend this place. Also the street is a dead end at one side, so taxis refused to go in the street and drop me outside the airbnb the whole time. They would drop me at the parallel street, and then to get to Ceyhan’s place, I had to take another uphill & tiring set of stairs the whole time. It also doesn’t help that the taxi drivers don’t know English, so you can’t request them to make an exception for you either.
Other than that, it’s a very pleasant stay, the hosts are super nice, the place is silent and calm.
