The apartment is lovely and has every convenience. It's extremely close to Taksim and all that it has to offer, but is just on the "other side of the tracks," a possibly intimidating walk for a single woman at night. Recommend coming by taxi on first arrival as it is not easy to find if you do not know the area well! Best way to get there would be to take the Havatas bus to Taksim square and a taxi from there, which should be very cheap.
