The property is located in Tarlabasi. Despite the poor look and the reputation, it is a safe neighbourhood. You can see old people and children walking around even at midnight. It is close to Taksim and has good connections, but you might have problem climb up to the main street with a luggage. The room is tiny, maximum 15 m2, but features few utensils (one spoon, one knife, one towel etc.), which cannot cover your everyday needs, if you stay more than 1-2 days and you have decided not to eat everyday out (besides, I was there for work not vacations). Otherwise, it is really cheap and value for cost. The communication with the host was also excellent.
