This is a hard review because there is nothing wrong with the apartment apart from some rough patches and unfinished decorating. It is located very near Taksim. It is very clean.
I stayed at one of the front apartments; The external noises (cars, delivery trucks, motorcycles; people shouting throughout the night car parked with their radio on blaring music after 1:00am , buses and the internal noise ( other guests slam shutting doors , screaming and talking loud on their way to their apartment ; talking even louder inside their apartment NO RESPECT towards other people) are non stop day and night ; it makes sleeping very difficult and uncomfortable.
I have nothing negative to say about the host; he was accommodating and allowed me to check in very late; when I complained about next door noise at all hours he sent them a message. It only last one night; they were at it again the following night.
No follow up call or message from the host to check if the noise had stopped;
If you stay here just be aware the noise is non stop; the windows are not double glazed; there are several restaurants below and around the apartment area.
I wished it was highlighted on the ad or that others would have mentioned how busy the area is. I would have stayed somewhere else quieter.
