Emin's place is close to the action of Taksin, but removed enough to be out of the way. The room is small, but room enough for two. Don't expect fast wifi-it wasn't speedy enough for me to download emails and YouTube is completely impossible. Also, expect to pick up some water as people don't drink the tap water in Istanbul and there weren't any water bottles supplied in the room when I arrived. That said, the value of this room is pretty incredible and the Taksin area of Istanbul is pretty amazing.
