Fantastic place! We arrived late into Istanbul and went straight from the airport bus to Mustafa's great little apartment, which is located right around the corner from Taksim Square and where the airport buses pick up and drop off. It was all good because there is an attendant at the building 24-hours a day. A very nice gentleman let us in and gave us Mustafa's key. There is a building code to enter the front door that makes coming and going really easy. It is the top apartment in the building - up about four flights of stairs. The apartment is very clean and nice. All the amenities are brand new. The kitchenette was perfect for our needs. He provides coffee and tea. He also provides nice clean towels and sheets, as well as soap, lotion, and shampoo. The wifi was fast and reliable. There is an air conditioner that worked great. The television had more channels than we could scroll through. There is a balcony that overlooks the quiet little street. The bed is large, clean, and comfortable. It is the perfect place to stay in Taksim Square as it is centrally-located and on a quiet street. It is very safe and secure. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Cheers!
