Great option if you're looking for accommodation in the heart of the cool part of Istanbul. The streets around are super lively and you can't get bored - so much to see, so much to taste. The location is absolutely perfect. But be ready that it will be somewhat noisy at night; after all it's Taxim - you cannot expect anything else, but loud music and happy people singing and dancing. Just manage your expectations. The apartment is jut as it looks in the pictures, Ertan is an extremely responsive host. Very attentive and accommodating. Wifi works just fine, but you can't use VPN on it (so you might not be able to access certain webpages, e.g. Wikipedia). Check in was smooth. Great experience overall.
