You will stay in the heart of the Beyoglu, one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in Istanbul. The zone is very cool and safe, you will have a Carrefour gourmet just a few blocks away, many coffes and restaurants. The Taksim subway is 10 or less minutes walk away, and the tramway to Santa Sofia is also like 10 or less minutes away. Istiklal blv. is also just a few minutes away walking. The apt. is huge, you will need to go up 3 floors by stairs. Inside you have everything to cook, wash your clothes. We stayed a week and was just great. We definitely would come back. Also the host is very responsive so she will help you very fast 👌
