Cons
If you are not fit and do not mind a location to which there is a small path with multiple flights of stairs this is not the place for you. Whilst this place is only 15 mins walk from Taksim Square, it is very difficult to navigate for the first time and the paths to the Airbnb are very narrow with lots of stairs. Just to get to the Airbnb which is on the fourth floor you will need to climb approximately 170 steps. Now if you are a group of 4-6 with heavy bags, brace yourself. Disclaimer, I am a 26 year old who is very fit and it was a struggle in the Istanbul heat.
Value for money given location and inconvenience to navigate in and out of Airbnb is not worth it.
