Spacious apartment with a well equipped kitchen. Really appreciated the second bathroom. Due to the high walls, the patio area was a bit gloomy, but that didn't matter to us as we were out all day. Secure and very quite location (unlike the apartment we stayed in last time we visited Istanbul). We didn't check in until gone 10 at night, but the hosts were very helpful, stayed until we arrived and offered to guide us from Taksim Square. The apartment was the Ideal base for sightseeing using the tram from Kabatas or the metro from Taksim Square.
Tip: If you arrive by Haverbus at Taksim be wary of scam cab drivers.
