A lovely clean functional apartment relatively close to the popular Taksim road/square. The apartment is in an area with a much more local flavor which is appealing by itself. The rooftop is communal for the building and is therefore not as well furnished as it could be other than a small table and two chairs. As this is THE selling point for this property, a couple of day lounges and subtle screening of the some neighboring apartments would be a huge plus. Osman's apartment is close enough (12min walk) to be a part of the Taksim vibe but far enough away to be a part of local living in Istanbul.
