The apartment was well located, within a walking distance from Taksim metro station and the nearest Carrefour grocery store. Unfortunately, the apartment was not completely clean when we received it. There was lint all over the floors, and some stains on the kitchen floor. The towels that we received we did not want to use them until we had put them first in the washing machine. The apartment is on the first floor so expect a lot of loud noise from the street during the night and on weekends. In addition, the neighbor had several times loud noises during the night, we expect he had his friends over in the middle of the week at midnight.
