I stayed at this apartment for one month during September 2016. The flat is very well located near an underground station, one stop away from Taksim's main tourist area. It is also pleasant to walk to Taksim square from here. The flat is on the top floor (roof) of a seven story building. There is a lift and some steep stairs before you get to the front door. The huge private patio with nice views was a big plus. The flat is clean and comfortable. The host, Fatih was excellent. The area is safe and there are many eateries, supermarkets, shops and interesting places. I highly recommend this apartment as a pleasant base from which to explore Istanbul.
