I had a really nice time in this place. It is just several minutes from Taksim, and 1 minute from Istiklal street. Sure it's a noisy place because it is all-night parties around but I was totally prepared for that. The apartment is pretty small and a bit old, but I asked the owner about an additional cleaning and he made it, so it was nice. So I stayed for a short time, and the price was reasonable, so I pleased with my staying.
