To begin with, the location is approximately 15mins walk from Taksim. Apartment is situated just between the touristy Taksim area and the Kasimpaşa neighbourhood. Transport links are around 5-7mins walk such as Şişhane metro and bus stop. You an easily get off at Yenikapı and venture out elsewhere using the metro or Marmaray.
Apartment itself is good. Spacious and has a comfy bed. I slept really well. AC works well, refrigerator and washing machine. Kitchen is basic - didn't really need it but can be useful. Had a good amount of storage space and I'm glad it's on the ground floor. Toilet itself could do with some attention. But overall it's clean, comfortable and satisfying.
The building block itself is safe and secure. A code is needed to enter and you have the key to your room. The street outside is also safe and always has people around.
Host himself is great - always ready to help and offer his assistance. Responds swiftly and takes care of his guests.
Thank you
