Saba is an amazing host. Super helpful and always available. She was very nice and made it very easy for me to ask her anytime at any time of the day.
PROs
The apartment is extremely close to Taksim hence its super convenient to go anywhere.
Food options and convenient stores are at 2-3 mins from the apartment.
Apartment is really tiny but clean.
CONs
The apartment is located in a by-lane that steeply slopes downward, so it can be an issue to drag your luggage back up to the main road. Also, many taxis refuse to come down the slope, so it can be a problem sometimes.
Bathroom is small and could use an upgrade.
The main iron door entrance to the building is really heavy difficult to open or close. Its really hard to push and hold the half door that opens to get your luggage in or out. Even the key for it is not easy to unlock. So this door could use some repair.
