Great location two minutes away from Istiklal st and six minutes away from Taksim square. Two liquor stores within two minute walk, and at least one grocery store (both are essential during COVID times.) Right next door to a cop station, so barely any noise at night. one thing to remember - the actual street leading to the place is blocked off bya couple of roadblocks, so a cab cannot get right to the entrance - it is about 400 feet on foot from the nearest intersection. If you need directions for a cabbie, you can always use the name and address of the hotel next door (Next2 hotel Taksim.) Oh, and the building has an elevator (it's tiny, but it works.)
