Handan's place is as charming as you can see on the photos. It's a big flat that can easily accommodate a couple for a few weeks or a group for a short time. I've stayed there for a month. You have convince stores nearby but supermarket is 15 min walk. It's close to Taksim metro station and several taxis are around if needed. Nevertheless, it's not the safest areas by night specifically if you are a female solo traveler. I didn't meet Handan but her staff were always available and helping.
