The apartment is great, the fisrt thing you see when you come in is the view and what a view that is. The place is located next to loads of bars, restaurants and local shops. 15 min away from Taksim and literally 5m from the Tramway N1 stop, which takes you to the historic center of Istanbul and all the main tourist attractions. Also you have Galata port at a few minutes with many more shops, coffe shops and restaurants. The flat is clean and spacious. Thank you for making out Istanbul special!
