The apartment is really good in terms of location, right beside Taksim and close to Havaist (the bus to new Istanbul Airport). We stayed at the apartment with 2 terraces. The basics are available but quite old, the apartment will be amazing if it will be renovated. The minus was that conditioning in the bedroom was not working but the landlord was very apologizing for this. The cleaning can be done if requested or on schedule. Mert is hospitable, friendly and helpful host. He was always in touch.
