Fantastic stay @ Casa's apartment in Taksim 360. The pictures do not do the apartment enough justice. It is very spacious, clean, tech-forward, and well equipped. Located just steps away from Taksim Square, it has the benefit of being centrally located, but you don't hear all the hustle and bustle of the major street. Partly due to the sound insulation and the apartment is set back one street from the major road. You will hear the call to prayer throughout the day from the Taksim Mosque (across the roadway). Same as you hear from most parts of Istanbul. A rarity in Turkey, the apartment is equipped with a washer and dryer and 2 huge LG smart TVs. Due to the newness of the area, there is construction ongoing, but it didn't damper our experience. The community behind Taksim 360 is a little rough around the edges, but the area is being revitalized and with the security, I never felt unsafe. The bed is comfortable and has plenty of storage to place your luggage. Very easy to hail a taxi/Uber and the building has plenty of security. The owner and the staff that helps manage the apartment have done a phenomenal job being flexible, accomodating, and helpful. Thank you Casa, Erhan, Berrak, etc. Truly a great place to call home during your stay in Istanbul. It felt great coming back to the apartment after a long day of walking to relax in luxury.
