We stayed at the room for a week (yeah, if you see this beautiful apartment and want it right away not reading the description like i was, you will have a room, not the whole apartment, but in spite of that) it was a great! Nael is the nicest host, always welcoming and ready to help, sharing advice where to go and the cheapest way to do it. Right in the same building there is a supermarket, a lot of places to eat out near by, Istiklal and Taksim metro at a walking distance (10-20 min). But as it is the center of Istanbul don’t wait for a miracle, you should be ready to tolerate some level of noise. Other than that staying at the room was great👍🏻
