The place is spotless clean. It is in a small alley just away from the main thoroughfare in Taksim. There are many eateries nearby with local prices.
The check in was simple with the help of Halil's friend next door and he gave a brief but very valuable information about the area.
Travellers however must take note that there is no elevator to the apartment at a higher floor. It is nice that the apartment has a balcony.
