We had a great stay at Gözde and Ismail’s place. We had a late arrival plus luggage issues and they had someone waiting for us. Also they helped us to get to get things sorted out with the airport and our bags delivered. Place is in a very central spot walking distance from a lot of the main things in Istanbul such as the Galalta Tower, Taksim and Istiklal street. Neighborhood is very safe, people around are very nice and friendly.
