It was great stay. Host gave me great tips before Iarrived to the apart hotel. But there is two down part to this lovely flat. The stairs are too narrow and I got the last floor apartment. That was hard to climb or Iam just lazy and fat. :) Second one is all the taxi drivers point out that the neighborhood is dangerous. I didn't see any issue but that was bit of scary hearing stories from taxi drivers. I have stayed two night and all went well. The flat very well located. Taksim with taxi was only 14 lira ( 2 usd ). I like it and if you don't mind the stairs and bad roomers. I definitelyrecommend it.
