We stayed at this place in the middle of March. The location is perfect, 7 mins to Taksim square, metro station and Istiklal, shops, cafes nearby. It looks like on the fotos, in tradional style and has many antik stuff. The host is a very nice and warm hearted person. Communication was good, prepare a translator from turkish for the better one:) Also, note the building is old one, so it can be cold inside when the weather is cold, but we were provided with heater and it was the solution. Also note that the apts located on the heavy traffic street, and beacause of wooden windows it can be noisy inside at day and night.
