I would strongly recommend this apartment. There is plenty of space, a good kitchen and the location is very convenient (literally two minutes from Taksim). The living room deserves a special mention; it is a lovely, spacious place to relax. The decoration throughout the apartment is also pleasant. The host, Isik, is extremely helpful. During our stay I injured my knee and he went out of his way to find me some walking sticks and make sure that I was comfortable. I was very impressed and would certainly return if I visit Istanbul again.
