Perfect location for Taxim, site seeing, Vodophone stadium, tramsit. Great communication with Timur. Accurate pictures. The building is old so expect a bit of darkened grout in the shower but the apartment was clean with everything you need. Market, pharmacy, restaurants, spa right outside the door of the building. 5 min walk to Istiklal Caddesi (main attraction street in Taxim). Up to flights of stairs with no elevator but this was not an issue for us. Great breeze through the apartment with the windows open. Lovely big tree outside to give you some neighborhoor feel. Quiet with windows closed and still ok with windows open. I would recommend this apartment for its location and its fair value.
