The host texted me before my arrival to see when I would be there, met me outside to make sure I found the place, even carried my heavy bag down the stairs. Pleasantly surprised with how great the accommodations were considering how cheap the rental was. Clean bed with thick blankets, A/C and fan works slowly but give it time and works great. My room was on the bottom floor below the street level so it was nice and quiet. Bathroom was more spacious than I thought it would be. It was a washing machine only in the room But there is a drying rack in the bathroom. I made a purchase and had it delivered but the delivery boy wrote down my number wrong and couldn’t tell me he was there. The host made contact with the delivery boy and told me someone was waiting for me right away. The street outside has a bakery right next door, fruit stand, cafe, mini market and mini liquor store with in 2 streets before the main road. It’s a couple streets away from the busy busy main road but close to a bus stop and 5-10 min walk from Taksim Square. All in Ak very happy with my stay.
