The apartment Is perfectly clean. great position: 5 mins walk from Istiklal Caddesi and Tophane (line T1) and 15 Min walk from Taksim. The neighbourhood (TomTom) Is lively, with nice cafes and boutiques, but the apartment's street Is extremely quiet. Hussein isa great host, very welcoming and veryveasy ti communicate with. We asked him info about the train to Ankara and he contacted his cousin to have the correct directions. I would highly recomend this apartment!
