We loved this apartment - it is bright and sunny and the furnishings are very cheerful. The neighborhood is so interesting and the apartment is close to the tram station and a short walk to Taxim square. Istanbul is very hilly and this location is no exception, be prepared to walk up and down hill a lot! Tareq was very helpful, always available to answer questions and provide information. He was even kind enough to arrange for a taxi to pick us up and take us to the airport. We would stay here again!
