What an amazing and accommodating host! They had no problem letting us check in early when our flights were changed last minute. And if they had guests, were able to give another plan for helping to store luggage. Also incredibly responsive in helping set up food delivery! Location was less than ideal for family with small children. A LOT of stairs getting about the area. Close to Taksim metro though - maybe 5 min. Minimal cookery but enough to cook. Great supply of toilet paper and dishwashing and laundry detergents. If you are going to stay in this area, I highly recommend!
