Loved this Airbnb, it was exactly what I needed. Close to Taksim square and the metro station (just a few minutes walk). Also it is a very quiet area in order to get a good nights sleep! (This is very hard to come by because of the heavy Istanbul traffic and continuous honking). The apartment is a good size, with 2 bedrooms; the kitchen had everything I needed and a nice big couch in the living room. I also loved using the pool and gym. Another plus is the security personnel who are always very helpful, whether to call a taxi (which is a true sport in Istanbul) or just help you with directions and ideas for an outing. I will be going back there again in January.
