House is exactly like the pictures. The view from the balcony is beautiful anytime of the day. The host was very helpful and always was in contact with me. The flat is located not too far from Taksim and the heart of Istanbul. The stairs to the flat were a little exhausting since it was on the third floor but a little workout doesn’t hurt anyone. Just be aware that there are a few mosques around the flat so expect prayer calls early in the morning and late at night that might wake you up.
I recommend the host and this flat to everyone. It’s more roomy and feel like local rather than staying in a hotel room.
