Very homely place to stay. I really liked the private entrance and the garden with the plants and palmtree. The apartment was decorated with obvious love and attention to detail. I liked that it was near the tram to the old city and not far from a range of restaurants local and international. I found a fish and vegan restaurant around the corner. The area had everything, trendy antique shops, designer shops, local shops. Near the consulate area and about 15 minutes by foot from the famous Taksim Square and Istiklal Street for high street shopping.
I would definitely stay again in this nice apartment.
