The place is as great as you see in the pictures. It is fully equipped and very cosy. It is clean and when the windows are closed, it is super calm. No noise from the neighbors also. Taksim Square is 9 min far from the place. You have to climb a little steep of 20 meters though but it is not a big deal at all. Although the place is close to Taksim, a hustle and bustle place, Asu's place is in a very calm and safe neighborhood. Asu and her mom has been very helpful answering our questions about the area. They were very kind to host us at 2 o'clock in the morning. I would definitely recommend this place.
