This is indeed a nice and cozy place in the heart of Istanbul, very very close to Istiklal and Taksim square. Easy to find with the info provided. Clean, hot water, wifi, etc, so no nasty surprises. Communication with Kubra was excellent. One thing that should be clarified is that none of the bedrooms are separated by a door from the rest of the apartment. Is very quiet, especially considering its position, but on Saturday night with the windows open maybe the visitor would experience what a night out in Istanbul means.
