This house is in one of the most luxurious districts of Istanbul. We came to walk around Taksim, but we didn't want to rent a house in bad neighborhoods. We wanted it to be a decent and safe place. We reached Taksim, Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet in Fatih in 20-25 minutes by taxi. And we only paid 10 dollars for the taxi. Istanbul is really cheap. The host is a wonderful person, he informed us in detail about Istanbul. He was always available and we never felt alone. We will come again.
