Fantastic and stylish studio in a great location. Close to all the central attractions of bars and restaurants. A short 5 min walk will bring you to the bustling Istiklal street right in the center of all the action. 5 mins will also bring you to the Pera area where there is a number of cool bars and restaurants to try. There is a bus stop also within 5 mins which will also take you virtually anywhere you need to go. Check on google for schedules and timings.
I stayed in the studio for a little over a month and it suited my needs perfectly. I was able to cook some meals when I did not feel like dining out. Because the room is located in the basement, it was nice and quiet and also very cool. There is also a small outdoor area where you can open the door for some fresh air.
There are a number of small convenient stores on the same street within 20m including a really nice fruit and vegetable shop directly opposite the building. Also on the same street a barber and small wine and beer shop to stock up on Efes.
Taner and Nicola were very quick at communicating and giving suggestions on queries or even finding simple solutions to the usual touristy issues we face. Great hosts! I would highly recommend staying there and I will for sure repeat my stay when I visit Istanbul again.
