Overall good place to stay. It's very close to the Osmanbey Metro and Sisli's main road which is great. Very safe, quiet area one block from the Sisli main road. Walking distance to Nisantasi. Nice view of the city from the window. Inside the place has most of the essentials. I'd say it could use a microwave. Some foods you can't use the sandwich press to reheat. It did have a cigarette smell on the first day I arrived. I was able to air out the place, but if you're going to allow guests to smoke then it would help to air out the place before the next tenant arrives. In his defense he does have it as "smoking allowed" so it wasn't a surprise. However, some guests may be non-smokers who do not like the cigarette smell.
