Cozy apartment in a great location - 5 minute walk to Istiklal street, 3 minute walk to bus stop. Host is very responsive, easy check-in and check-out. A/C works very well in main bedroom, but if you are planning to use the 2nd bed in the main living space to sleep note that it can get very warm (at least in July when we were there). Very steep and narrow stairs to reach the apartment - not a big deal (except maybe if you have a LOT of luggage like we did!). Overall I would recommend Mia's place as a great place to stay for a couple looking for a homebase to explore Istanbul :)
