This flat's location is amazing. Right at the center of the neighborhood, I was able to walk to several iconic sites such as Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, Galata Kulesi, and Dolmabahce Palace within 10 minutes, as well as have a great variety of restaurants and cultural activities also within that range. If one is willing to walk for 30 minutes, most tourist spots on the European side of the city can be reached. Mahsa was very responsive when I needed to contact her. She offered to store my luggage before check-in time and was there at a very early time when I needed to check-out due to having an early flight. The flat is somewhat small, as one would expect since this is a budget option. It is very practical for short stays. Long stays here are possible, but not as comfortable because there is no stove/oven (but there is a hotplate) and you're expected to do your own cleaning, which can be difficult in the bathroom due to the irregular floor. It can also get a bit cold inside during the winter. Overall I had a positive experience, and while I believe the long-stay aspect can be improved I would recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for a practical and budget option.
