The apartment is one of the best that I've stayed in all this while. The whole experience was great. Started with the host messaging us welcoming us to Istanbul and continuously checking on us, welcoming us personally and gave us a tour and explanation on the apartment to thanking us personally when we checked out.
On the apartment, it was just marvellous. Nice upgraded old apartment with a character. Everything looks clean and neat. Host even prepared fruits & Turkish delights to welcome us. Getting into the apartment feels like its a home. The best part is, there's 2 full toilets, great for a family of 6 like us. The kitchen is fully equipped too.
On the location, Its a 5 minutes walk to Taksim Square. Even though it nearby the busy location, but the area was nice and quiet. There's even a few groceries store just within few steps away. We mainly took the Metro (underground train) from Taksim Square. Istiklal Street is also very very close by which is great.
