Taner and Nicola’s place is a great base for getting around in Istanbul. It has some nice views, is nicely furnished and decorated and in a cool part of Istanbul. AC is a life saver in the hotter months and there is also an elevator. We were able to walk to most tourist spots we wanted to get to as well as the airport shuttle bus station in Taksim but it might be easier for some to get a cab/public transport. 20 mins walk to Taksim, 40 mins walk to Grand Bazaar.
Taner was flexible and responsive for check in and checkout. All in all a great stay. Highly recommended!
