Stayed 2 weeks in Nov, 2 adults and a child. The listing meets the description completely. The location was perfect for us - Taksim square and metro is in walking distance however we liked to walk even to old town. Big supermarket is on neighbor street and many small markets around. The apartment is well equipped, warm and clean.
The host, Elmas, was extremely nice and responsive. We would recommend this listing to anyone traveling to Istanbul.
